Pedro takes the host seat for an episode that asks the big question — are we doing enough to pay it forward in African basketball?
From FIBA’s rejection of Nneka Ogwumike’s petition to switch to Nigeria, to the start of the Road to BAL qualifiers, the crew breaks down the wins, the setbacks, and what progress really looks like.
Plus, Hidden Hoops takes us to Burkina Faso, and the quiz gets heated as Djigo and Chelo are not here to balance things out

Pedro’s hosting this week while Djigo claims he’s “unwell” (nothing to do with Senegal coming fourth… apparently). The squad takes a closer look at the strongest contenders shaping up for Men’s AfroBasket 2025—who’s got next, and who’s just noise? The quiz is back with a head-to-head: Jonathan vs Djigo. It’s tense, it’s petty, and it’s pure Swish Nomads energy.

Marcel shows up late to his own episode, and the quiz goes completely off the rails. We ask where African players really thrive — at home or abroad? Hidden Hoops takes us to Egypt, and we’re now seriously questioning if Djigo’s getting coached behind the scenes…

The whole gang is finally back together, and Pedro’s hosting. The quiz is causing problems (again), and Hidden Hoops takes us to Cameroon… with a few mispronounced names along the way. Banter. Basketball. Chaos. You already know what it is.
