    Detroit/Windsor high school baller is really 30 years old

    So this dude managed to fake Canada into thinking he was 17 years old?!

    In a stunning development, a star center for a Canadian high school basketball team was exposed as a 30-year-old African refugee, leading to his being detained in connection with the Immigration Refugee Protection Act.

    According to the Windsor Star, 30-year-old South Sudanese native Jonathan Nicola was a star center for the Central Catholic Comets throughout the 2015-16 season. The 6-foot-9, 202-pounder spent the previous months during the academic year living with Central Catholic basketball coach Pete Cusumano as part of the Canada Homestay program while he lived in the country on a student visa.

    For the time being, Nicola has been suspended and faces deportation. Meanwhile, 18-year old Greg Oden, a Chinese import, will be playing in his place.

    He claims to not know his own age! This just gets better:

    He did not provide further testimony at the hearing, but at an earlier detention review, the 6-foot-9 Nicola, who was enrolled in Grade 11 and played basketball on his Windsor high school team, said he did not know how old he really was because his mother kept telling him different ages.

    “I aways keep asking what is the specific age that I was born, and she has told me that she could not remember,” he told the April 19 hearing.

    “Over (in South Sudan) . . . not every year we study . . . we always keep moving to different schools, and over there, they do not ask your age. They do not ask you nothing,” Nicola said.
