I don´t think that the level of this year was so bad...it's truth that this champ was the yeasyest to win for Angola, but this was in my opinion because Nigeria and Senegal not played the semifinals.

Cameron have a strong team and if they only apear this year its only because organizations insues, they have a lot of good players in Europe and America and will be not easy for Lebanon beat theam in olimpics qualifying tournament.

The same for Cape Verde because I belive that with the possibility of participation in olimpics games others players of diapora will accept play for Cape Verde and they will became strongest.


Regarding Senegal and Nigeria I start think that are a lost case, they are so arrongant only because their names that they think they don´t to work...and in the end angola win.

Angola show again that their are the strongest team in africa not because they have the best players but because they are well organized and more professional.

Cameron, RCA and Ivory Coast show that they have the potential to stop Angola domination in Africa...they only need improve a litle bit more their game.

Cape Verde play like Angola 15 years a go...same style of players and same philosophy of game, I belive that in near future they will became a very strong team.

Nigeria, Senegal and Mali the same old sheet...great players (the best in continent) but no team. Its a shame.

Tunisia and Egypt they know to play but their game are not agressive enough.

Zlim,Can u give us ur opinion about the level of Afrobasket 2007 ??
Why we saw a team like Senegal made 31 turnovers in a game ?? the same for egypt,Nigeria ... ??
I think it was easy for Angola to win Afrobasket 2007,the real surprise was in many new african teams win historical teams like when Mali ,Cameroon and Cap verde won Egypt.
Note:Cameroon isn't in the Fiba World Ranking and they finished second.
Great job by Cameroon.

Joaquim Gomes named the MVP of the tournament.

The ideal 5 of the tournament is composed by Olímpio Cipriano, Joaquim Gomes (Angola), Marques Houtman, Rodrigo Mascarenhas (Cape Verde) and Luc Mbah (Cameroon).

Congrats to Angola They indeed rule African basketball.

Wow, that's an amazing way to finish a touney! Being the unknown team that gets a big prize defeating more traditional squads and clinhing with a 3 point shot at the end... It's a movie waiting to happen

PS: Houtman leaving for Europe? That can only be good.

im watching this year,s african championship and the level sux ...lebanon should be aware of this and should participate to get in the top 3 in next year,s olympics qualifying tournament cuz i think they are better than south korea,cape verde,cameroon,panama,new zealand and venezuala who we beat last year..........so after watching this championship im really optimistic of lebanon,s chances...and i dt think our chances are as low as i thought.....i think we have around 30 to 40% chance of making it....
