Omony has a Jordan mentality, says Norman Blick

Stephen Omony and Norman Blick are regarded by many as Uganda’s greatest basketball players of all time.

For Omony whose career spans for over two decades, there is a near-total agreement he is the greatest there has been in the country that even the legendary Blick looked up to.

“Truth is each time I used to play for basketball in Jammers, we used to watch Omony and I idolized him.

“At one point I wanted to join Falcons so I can play with him. That’s how much I like him,” Blick admitted during his appearance on Basketball256 show Double Down.

Blick likened Omony to six-time NBA champion and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time Michael Jordan.

“We started visiting him in Nkumba just to build that relationship. He is a great guy but he has that Jordan mentality, you don’t mess with him.

“There was a time we were dissing him on the bus and he silenced all of us. He said; ‘I’m your teammate, not your friend’ but he is a great guy and a great leader.”
