Saskatchewan Rattlers' guard Michael Nuga chose basketball over soccer even though his father played for Nigeria's national soccer team.
Former Rattlers coach Dean Demopoulos used to rave about Nuga’s high energy level.Nuga’s energy, hustle and intensity on the court have made an impact. He’s considered a possible top contender for the CEBL’s sixth man award.“I try and bring the energy everywhere I go and in everything I do,” said the 6-foot-2 guard. “Very hyper kid growing up, and I haven’t slowed down.”
“So I come from a pretty athletic background. It kind of trickled on to me and my brothers,” he said.“We’re very close-knit group,” noted Nuga. “Off the court, we hang out all the time. So we just have to make it look like we like each other on the court, as well, the way we are off the court, because we’re so connected as a group. We need to translate that into our game.Article content
It’s been a rollercoaster 2023 season for the Rattlers, who are still hoping to move up into a playoff spot. The key, he added, is “just keeping our heads straight, making sure we’re working together as a unit, making sure that we’re positive through ups and downs in a game, and if we do that, I feel like nobody can beat us.”
