Early life


Ogbe was born in Munich, the son of a Nigerian father and German mother.[1] He grew up in Ehingen, Germany and played basketball for the youth team of Ehingen Urspring. He was named the MVP of the 2012 Arby's Classic after scoring 24 points with eight rebounds in the championship game as Ehingen became the first international team to win the tournament.[2]
