Within days of arriving in Washington DC after being drafted by the NBA's Washington Wizards, Felix Okpara went looking for the familiar.
If you guessed the practice facility, or the arena, you guessed wrong. It was none of those things. What he was looking for were the best spots to get Nigerian food in DC.
"I already checked out some of the food spots," Okpara, who was born in Lagos, told reporters during a media availability organized by NBA Africa.
"That's the first thing I did. There are some good ones. You've got to have a little taste of home. Afang is probably my favourite. Egusi too. I actually cook egusi myself."
