FLASHBACK 83: Not just action!
Tweet*FLASHBACKS, my irregular "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe or post whatever I find for you.*
THE NBL, WNBL and Australia's international reputation took a quantum leap forward in the 90s so digging up some new (old) pics from the era was a lot of fun.
Not all of them are action in this little "history revisit", some of them promo pics and others celebrating an event or two.
Check them out. Who knows? You may be among them!
