Jimmy Abraham Enabu (born 17 April 1988) is a Ugandan professional basketball player regarded as one of the greatest players and point guards in Uganda's history.

He started his career with the Knight Riders basketball team from Entebbe in 2007. Enabu moved to City Oilers in 2013, and helped the team win a record nine NBL championships.

He represented Uganda's national basketball team at the 2017 AfroBasket in Tunisia and Senegal, where he was Uganda's best passer as he recorded most assists for his team.[1]

He has won nine straight National Basketball League titles with his team The City Oilers. The City Oilers have made a record for a team that has won all titles of the National Basketball League that it has competed in. Jimmy Enabu left the city oilers to go to Burundi in May 2024.

''Jimmy Enabu is a student of the game, he joined City Oilers as a raw athlete and transformed into the best player in Uganda" Kwizera, his former manager said after Jimmy left to take his talents to Burundi.
