FLASHBACK 2: March 18, 1992
*FLASHBACKS, a weekly "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.
The King should be in HoF Castle
I KNOW I'd met Ken Cole before 1970 but one of my first conscious recollections of him is sitting in the stands at Apollo Stadium with a stunning mini-skirted young Karin Maar at the Australian Championship.
Random dribbling - It's only preseason!
JUDGING by the response last night in Christchurch, if the Breakers want to schedule a regular season NBL game on South Island, the league would have no objections.
Random dribbling - OK for CJ
EXCEPTIONAL timing by Knox Raiders import CJ Massingale to win his third SEABL Most Valuable Player award as he signs to play NBL with Adelaide 36ers.
NBL Preseason Update
THE 36ers have made it 3-0 so far on their tour of China, tonight beating Brian Goorjian's Dongguan Leopards 65-59 in front of a 5000-strong crowd in Shenzhen.
FLASHBACK 1: 1970 AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
*FLASHBACK 1: Tuesday, October 6, 1970, Apollo Stadium, Adelaide - Australian Men's Championship
Random dribbling - Hallejulah!
HALLEJULAH. Having long been an advocate we heavily should promote our sport's advantage in being for both sexes, the joint NBL/WNBL preseason announcement today could not come too soon.
More dribbling - HoF for Nellie
THOSE of us who sat glued to our TVs in the 80s when Bill Palmer was introducing Seven's Sunday morning NBA match of the week - who can EVER forget his call of a "flying frapdoodle''? - will avidly remember Don Nelson.
Random dribbling - Preseason and Hawks flying
ONLY someone not entirely aware of history or consistency would write off Wollongong before the NBL season even tipped off.
Random Dribbling - Getting late to blitz the Blitz
THE NBL needs to get the lead out if it plans to stage and promote its Preseason Blitz, especially for interstate fans seeking an inexpensive travel option.
