In today's episode of the Mind Set Game, I sat down with Alex Owumi.

Alexander William O. Owumi is a Nigerian professional basketball player and author. Owumi became the subject of widespread media attention following his time with the Libyan team Al-Nasr owned by the family of Muammar Gaddafi joining the team shortly before the outbreak of the Libyan Civil War in 2011. As an author, he has written three books, including an autobiography focusing on his time in Libya. (US), (UK), (Canada) and (France).

Originally from Lagos, Owumi moved to Boston, Massachusetts as a child. He played football and basketball from an early age and at the college level, but subsequently focused on basketball at the Community College of Rhode Island and was named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American. He played his final two seasons at Alcorn State. Immediately after college, Owumi failed to attract the attention of National Basketball Association(NBA) teams and played his rookie season in France with AL Roche-la-Molière, with whom he was named league MVP.

After a brief spell in the Premier Basketball League (PBL) with the Manchester Millrats, he signed with KK Lirija in Macedonia but left the team after one season after facing unpleasant playing conditions and racist abuse, accepting a lucrative offer with Al-Nasr in Libya. When conflict erupted, Owumi was trapped in Mutassim Gaddafi's apartment without food or electricity for several days in the midst of the violence before crossing the border into Egypt, where he was arrested and detained. After his release, before returning home, he won the league championship with El-Olympi. Following his traumatic experience in Libya, he began competing in the British Basketball League (BBL) firstly with the Worcester Wolves, with whom he won a league title, and then the London Lions and more recently Surrey Scorchers.

Anderson is widely considered to be one of the best wheelchair basketball players in the world. He began playing the sport in 1990 and was first chosen for the Canadian national team in 1997.

He led the Canadian Junior Men's National Team to victories in the World Championships in 1997 and 2001 and was named MVP at both competitions. At senior level, he was a member of the team that won a bronze medal at the 1998 World Championships and was chosen as a member of the all-star team for the event.

In 2000 he represented Canada at the Paralympics for the first time at the Sydney Games. The Canadian team won the gold medal in the men's tournament. He won his second Paralympic gold medal at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, Greece, where the Canadian team defeated Australia in the final.
