Career

Nikagbatse started his professional career at TuS Lichterfelde Berlin, a farm team of ALBA Berlin. At the 2000 international Albert Schweitzer Youth Tournament, he was the best scorer overall.[1] Nikagbatse signed a contract with ALBA, but did not play for them as he wanted to play for a top club on a European level.[2] After nearly one year without playing in any official game, he signed with Olympiacos Piraeus.[1] After playing for the Italian club Snaidero Udine for half a year, Nikagbatse returned to Germany to play for Mitteldeutscher BC, with which he won the EuroCup Challenge. He declared eligible for the 2004 NBA Draft, but went undrafted. Nikagbatse then moved to Italy again, playing for Sedima Roseto and Vertical Vision Cantù in the first division. At the beginning of 2006, he signed for second division club Premiata Montegranaro, with which he got promoted to the first division.[1] Nikagbatse returned to Germany, but was waived by the Köln 99ers in march 2008 after testing positive on THC, although he was not officially suspended as he did not play during that time due to an injury.

International career

Nikagbatse won the bronze medal as a member of the German squad at the 2002 FIBA world championship, dunking over Yao Ming during the competition.[1][2] He also took part in the EuroBasket 2005, winning the silver madal. The national team's coach Dirk Bauermann cut his name off the roster for the 2008 Olympics qualification after the drug abuse incident .[3]

Personal life

His mother is Finnish while his father is Nigerian, [2] and his sister Roli-Ann is a member of the German women's national team.
