The New City College London Lions basketball academy has recently been enjoying a double celebration with two former Hackney campus students in the spotlight!
The first proud moment was when outstanding player Remy Udeh was crowned the Hoopsfix Allstar dunk contest champion 2024 (pictured below), and the second was when Aaron Badibo returned from playing in the USA to sign his first professional contract in the UK with the London Lions.
It is the second year in a row that the Lions have been successful in the Hoopsfix Dunk contest, having taken the title last year with another former NCC student, Josiah Philip – now also playing in the USA. Both players were selected as one of the top 24 under 19 players in the country, in their respective years.
