Max Martial Kougere (born March 12, 1987) is a Congolese basketball player who currently plays for Orléans Loiret Basket in the French LNB Pro A and is a member of the Central African Republic national basketball team.[1][2]

Before signing with Olympique Antibes for the upcoming 2009-10 season, Kougere played for fellow French League team BCM Gravelines. Kougere rarely saw action, playing only 64 minutes spread out over 11 games during the season.[3] Despite this, the 6'6 Kougere has gained a cult following in France through his dunking ability and participation in several slam dunk contests in France.[4][5]

Kougere was a member of the Central African Republic national basketball team that finished sixth at the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship, averaging 9.3 PPG.[6]
