African championship record

Angola baskeball national team has dominant basketball events in Africa in last 10 years. There is no doubt that Angola is the best team in Africa. Angola won 10 a FIBA Africa Championships and then they won 6 six last FIBA Africa Championships consecutives. The facts speaks for itselves. Then why other african teams are struggling to competi with Angolan. Lack of resources or lack of interest in basketball. This's no an excuse because Angola was at war for 27 years and before war ended five years ago they won 4 FIBA Africa Championships durant of war time. Now this country is a peace will be tough for other african team to catch up with Angola and become little be boring to see the same team winning FIBA Africa Championships and representing Africa in World events everytime.
