A Nigerian basketball player came to Serbia to play in 2017 after studying in the United States.
For the past two years, the midfielder has represented Crvena zvezda.
In the Euroleague game, he scored 4.1 points and bounced 3 balls.
It was said that “Crvena zvezda” would not renew the contract with M.Ojo, because he did not fit into the schemes of new manager Sasha Obradovich.

Originally from Nigeria, Ojo stood out in the Euroleague for the size of his shoes, his feet larger than those of Yao Mingo or Arvydas Sabonis (52).
Ojo’s shoe size was 56, as was the legendary Shaquille O’Neal.
Shoe giant Nike spent $ 15,000 two years ago on a special machine to make the right size for a basketball player.
“It seems to be prone to gigantism. Impressive size, hands, shoulders. It is really very big, when you go to the penalty area, it looks like a tank that is going to take everyone, ”said team scout Kaunas Evaldas Beržininkaitis about M.Ojo last year in preparation for the duel with the Serbian club.
In Kaunas arena M.Ojo in 16 min. scored 4 points and bounced the ball 5 times. He spent only a few Euroleague matches throughout the season, appearing in 22 matches for the Belgrade team.
