BRAD Rosen and I secured our first player for our Brad&Boti Podcast, the multi-talented, multi-purpose, multi-club star Brad Newley and we're talking Europe, Adelaide, NBA, Sydney Kings, wandering through his entire career since breaking into the NBL in 2004, as Rookie of the Year, Best Sixth Man and All Star game MVP.
