History
[edit | edit source]The club was established as the Lagos Legends in 2021 by Benjamin Peter, a former NPL player and two-time NCAA basketball champion.[1] The team entered the NBBF Division I in the 2021 season. [1]
In August 2025, the team was taken over by Maktwon Sports, and announced its intentions to be renamed to Mak Town Flyers.[2]
The Legends had their breakthrough season in 2025, as they won their first national championship, after defeating the reigning champions Rivers Hoopers in the final.[3] They won the game 74–72 on a lay-up by Patrick Abah, who was subsequently also named the league MVP.[3]
