他加入了一支拥有冠军底蕴的传奇球队
奇梅齐·梅图(Chimezie Metu)在 2018 年NBA 选秀中开启了他的 NBA 生涯。圣安东尼奥马刺队用第 49 顺位选中了这位尼日利亚裔美国籍的大前锋/中锋。他在马刺队效力了他的前两个赛季，时间分配在圣安东尼奥和奥斯汀的 G 联赛附属球队之间。
2020 年，马刺队放弃了梅图，他与萨克拉门托国王队签约，并在那里度过了三个赛季，成为了一名可靠的替补球员。
去年，梅图与太阳队签约，但在 2 月 8 日的一笔涉及布鲁克林篮网队的三方交易中被交易到孟菲斯灰熊队。在被灰熊队放弃后，他被底特律活塞队认领，并完成了赛季。
现在，梅图即将前往海外征战。

巴塞罗那俱乐部在吸引知名 NBA 球员方面有着悠久的历史。
保罗·加索尔、马克·加索尔、里基·卢比奥、尼古拉·米罗蒂奇和安德森·瓦莱乔都在各自的职业生涯中效力过这家俱乐部。
上个赛季，包括卢比奥、简·韦塞利、贾巴里·帕克、威利·埃尔南戈麦斯、托马什·萨托兰斯基和亚历克斯·阿布里内斯在内的许多前 NBA 球员都加盟了这支西班牙 ACB 联赛的亚军球队，巴塞罗那自 2000 年以来已经十次夺得该联赛冠军。
梅图同时也是尼日利亚男子篮球国家队的成员，但他们没有获得 2024 年奥运会的参赛资格。

He joins a storied team with a championship pedigree
Chimezie Metu got his start in the NBA via the 2018 NBA Draft. With the 49th pick, the San Antonio Spurs took the Nigerian-American power forward/center. He played his first two seasons with the Spurs, splitting time between San Antonio and the G-League affiliate in Austin.
In 2020, the Spurs waived Metu and he signed with the Sacramento Kings where he spent three seasons as a solid bench contributor.
Last year, Metu signed with the Suns, but was traded on February 8th to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade involving the Brooklyn Nets. After being waived by the Grizzlies, he was picked up by and completed the season with the Detroit Pistons.
Now, Chimezie Metu is heading overseas.

FC Barcelona has a history of pulling well-known NBA players.
Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Mirotic, and Anderson Varejao all spent time with the club during their respective careers.
Last season, many former NBA players including Rubio, Jan Vesely, Jabari Parker, Willy Hernangomez, Tomas Satoransky, and Alex Abrines made their way to runner-up in the Spanish Liga ACB, for which the club has won 10 times since 2000.
Chimezie also represents the Nigerian Men’s National Basketball Team, but they did not qualify for the 2024 Olympics.
