The Inbound Podcast turns its attention to the changing landscape of Ugandan basketball after Namuwongo Blazers successfully defended their National Basketball League title.
In the latest episode, host Brian Kawalya is joined by basketball analysts Felix Eupal and Stella Nikuze to assess whether the Blazers are building a new dynasty and what the end of City Oilers’ decade-long dominance means for the league.
Namuwongo strengthened their position as the new force in Ugandan basketball after beating City Oilers 81-74 in overtime in a dramatic Game Seven at Hoima City Stadium.
The victory secured a second consecutive championship for the Blazers and ended Oilers’ hopes of reclaiming the crown after their remarkable run of 10 straight league titles.
The panel also examines Nyembo Fataki’s starring role in the decisive game, where he scored a game-high 35 points to inspire the Blazers to victory.
Attention also turns to City Oilers and their future after another disappointing championship campaign. The panel debates the club’s recruitment of foreign-based players, and what the former champions must change to return to the top.
With Namuwongo now set to represent Uganda in the Basketball Africa League, the episode looks ahead to what could be the beginning of a new era. Can the Blazers turn back-to-back titles into a dynasty, or will City Oilers regroup and reclaim their dominance?
