Josh Nebo holds a Nigerian passport, which in the basketball world has the exact same status as a Slovenian. So, Josh didnt decide to play for the Slovenian NT in order to gain the benefits of the passport—primarily for the Spanish market—what was case with all other US players!

His reasons are the desire to compete at the highest national team level and to play on the same team as Luka! He had the same wish this summer as well, but due to an unhealed injury, he was banned from playing by the club that signed him. Josh is upset for missing EC!

So, conclusion is that potential loss of the passport will have no any consequences for Nebo, but statements like these could have dramatic consequences for the Slovenian Basketball Federation (KZS) 😄
