'In Paris, South Sudan are very much a second team for Australian fans to cheer on. Four members of the 12-man squad play in Australia’s National Basketball League – Bul Kuol, Jackson Makoi, Majok Deng and Sunday Dech – while a fifth, Kuany Kuany, lived in Australia before relocating to the United States for college. Another Australian, Thon Maker, had a last-minute eligibility appeal rejected after the former Boomers player switched basketball allegiances. Other members of the team play in the NBA, Serbia, China, Israel and Rwanda.' https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/27/paris-olympics-2024-basketball-australia-south-sudan-luol-deng-schedule-group-c #basketball #SouthSudan #Olympics
