The perfect stocking stuffer
THANK you very much from the bottom of my heart to the people already purchasing copies of my basketball-based memoir "A Type of Life" which, I am reliably informed, has been flying off the shelves at Dymocks.
December 10 for a Lightning strike
THE history of the Adelaide Lightning with surprise guests, copies of my new book "A Type of Life" for sale, and news out of Basketball SA ... the Free Throw Foundation's pre-Christmas lunch on December 10 at the Highway Hotel is one not to be missed.
B&B: From the court to the screen
WE sat down this week for one of our favourite interviews, Brad Rosen and I doing a "blast from the past" session with the one and only Wayne McDaniel, a former NBL import who excelled at Adelaide 36ers, Geelong Supercats, Newcastle Falcons and Hobart Tassie Devils. We covered a lot of ground in our Brad&Boti podcast.
And yes, unfortunately we've stayed offline
APOLOGIES to regular readers and visitors here but as you will have noticed, your author has stayed out of commission for several weeks despite promising the website's imminent return. Sadly it's been the result of a series of back spasms that laid me out for several weeks and kept my chiropractor extremely busy.
Bob's Corner: Happy anniversary baby, Part II
BASKETBALL On The Internet's US Corresondent BOB CRAVEN has been busy compiling a list of notable anniversaries in the NBA during my prolonged absence from the keyboard, and there have been some doozies during the month of November, as you are about to relive.
B&B: Play it again Sam
THE NBL's newest franchise, the Tasmania Jack Jumpers has the Apple Isle loving basketball again and this week Brad Rosen and I caught up with one of the club's first and most significant signings, championship-winning guard Sam McDaniel for our Brad&Boti podcast.
Bob's Corners: Mills still a boon for Nets
BOB'S CORNERS: While I've been out of commission (link), our man in the USA, Bob Craven has not, filing regular stories and updates. Today he filed about our own Boomers superstar Patty Mills sticking 29 points for Brooklyn against OKC. But there's been so much more from Bob...
We scored BB at B&B this week!
BRAD Rosen and I could barely contain our excitement (and particularly Brad here) to have as our guest on the Brad&Boti podcast, one of the all-time great "blasts from the past" in NBL championship winner and close personal friend of the late NBA Commissioner David Stern, the one and only Bruce Bolden.
Bob's Corner: LeMarcus returns
BOB'S CORNER: US correspondent Bob Craven sent this for publication on October 9 but that was the day my eldest gal got hitched so it fell by the wayside. Was it worth the read? Of course! LaMARCUS Aldridge, veteran big man (210cm) for the New Jersey Nets, is back with the team.
Apologies for the temporary delay...
DEAR regulars, apologies for the recent lack of B.O.T.I. coverage but have had a lot on the old plate. One daughter's wedding and marriage, another one's birthday, the imminent release of my memoir. In the meantime, great basketball stuff has been piling up but back on deck now and will start clearing those same decks shortly!
