Ademola Lookman and Joe Aribo of the Super Eagles have teamed up with NBA phenom Jayson Tatum during the NBA playoffs.

The European season concluded in June, and Super Eagles players took advantage of the opportunity to unwind.

Lookman recently participated in the Super Eagles' World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.

The Super Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw by Bafana Bafana at home in Uyo, and they were humiliated 2-1 by The Cheetahs in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Following the unfortunate defeat, Lookman and Aribo had some fun by attending the NBA finals.

Eagles' flights are grounded due to a strike, leaving eight players detained in Abuja and Lagos.
Following the game, the Super Eagles stars posed for a photo with Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum, which he posted on Instagram.

The snapshot was taken following the Celtics' 106-99 win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, in which Tatum had 31 points, six rebounds, and five assists.


Both Super Eagles stars are on vacation and will be eager to recharge for the next season.

Aribo intends to make a significant contribution to Southampton in the Premier League next season, and Lookman, if he does not sign with another team, will most likely return to Atalanta.
