Last summer we saw the Warriors Klay Thompson embrace his alter ego as #ChinaKlay. China Klay was loved by the people, had fun embarrassing himself, and was an all-around good time. Very Klay Thompson.
This summer we’re seeing another NBA player embrace his time in China but in a different way. Chimezie Metu is making the most of his time playing with the Nigerian national team at the 2019 FIBA World Cup. We’re seeing the rise of #ChinaChimezie.
Alongside NBA players like Al-Farouq Aminu, Josh Okogie, and Ekpe Udoh, Metu has shown off parts of his game that were not there when Spurs fans last saw him.
