B&B: Abercrombie shares a pod 'exclusive'
BRAD Rosen and I have been working to get New Zealand Breakers and Tall Blacks icon Tom Abercrombie onto our Brad&Boti podcast for months and we finally succeeded. It's one of our fave interviews and we even secured an exclusive from the Breakers' stalwart regarding his future as a player. Is he hanging up the boots?

Taipans bullish about key returnee
CAIRNS may have lost dual-Most Improved Player Keanu Pinder to his hometown Perth Wildcats, but retaining highly-sought free agent guard Bul Kuol is a coup for the Taipans, already buoyed by securing Kiwi-born big Sam Mennenga to join the NBL's 2023 Next Generation award-winner Sam Waardenburg.
There's movement at the station; no more SFA for FAs
NBL free agents are on the move with two of the league's biggest names - Keanu Pinder and William McDowell-White - ending rampant speculation about their destinations. Cairns' dual-winner of the Most Improved Player award is bound for the wild west but WMW won't be breaking NZ hearts.
Magic Mike to wave big stick at South East
