“One Guyana” Basketball League 2024/25: National Gymnasium to see fantastic basketball action

The “One Guyana” Basketball League being played at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue in Georgetown continues today under supervision of the Guyana Basketball Federation, and it is anticipated that former and current national athletes would continue to showcase their unique skills in this sporting discipline.
The clash between Raven and Masters would start today’s action, and the worst kept secret is that each team is gunning to exercise dominance over the other after the previous losses they have suffered. Thus, the Ravens would expectedly be an offensive unit spearheaded by the rampaging Nikkoloi Smith and Shamaar Huntley, while the Masters would be looking to torpedo the Ravens’ intentions by the efforts of the former national players representing them.
The University of Guyana Trojans and the Bounty Colts, as undefeated sides, are expected to employ their proverbial ballistic missiles in the closing game of the night. Each team has a high level of athleticism; each team has experienced and energetic players; and it is anticipated that each team would be looking to secure a win, if only for bragging rights’ sake.
The “One Guyana” tournament commenced with 27 teams in the Harpy Eagle and Jaguar Conferences, and with a projected 56 to 63 games having to be played. These teams are expected to play teams from their conference twice, with the top four teams qualifying for the playoffs. The number one-ranked team plays the fourth-ranked team, and the number two team plays the third-ranked team. Winners of the playoff games would then advance to their conference finals, where the winners of the best two of three games would advance to the National Finals.
The tournament-winning team would receive $1 million along with trophies, while the runners-up would receive $500,000 plus trophies.
