Basketball On The Internet.

SO, you think you know all there is about Australian basketball. You know our connections to the NBA and WNBA, the histories of the Boomers and Opals, and, naturally, anything worth knowing of the NBL and WNBL, right? OK then, here it is! The first annual "Great Aussie Basketball Quiz" for fans of the game who think they know it all.

Just a mere 10 questions – and one bonus picture question – that’s all we’re posing here today. And we’ll give you all the answers. But NOT until tomorrow!

We reckon even the great Statman might struggle with a couple of these questions.

And if you think you’ve beaten this – and it is genuinely a tough quiz – then drop us the answers at botirnagy@gmail.com if you dare.

Of course, if you go to Google or other such sources for the answers, well, consider yourself out of the competition because you are missing the point.

We're working on the honour system here - you know, like that episode of Seinfeld when Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer had the infamous "contest"?

This quiz is for those who genuinely think they know this stuff and love a challenge.

And a challenge it most surely is!

Answers tomorrow. Good luck, and if you can nail 7 or more, consider yourself an Australian basketball guru! Truly.
