Basketball On The Internet.

PODCAST co-host Joey Wright has donned his red gear, white beard and is off ho-ho-hoing, so for our special Christmas edition Time Out-NO FLOP ZONE podcast, we've seconded league legend Al Green to sub in, and the man with the most points in an NBL game doesn't hold back.

Always outspoken, we see the best of Mean Al Green AND Serene Al Green, the dual championship-winner and 1982 league MVP well across the NBL through his radio commitments for the ABC.

Not happy about the defending champion Hawks right now either.

Al, who delivered a 71-point game in 1984 is the best person to ask - will we ever see a 70-point individual game again?

Are coaches partly responsible for the officiating mess they complain about every week?

Al breaks down his all-time favourite Adelaide 36ers import, reacts to Jack McVeigh’s outrageous 47-point performance, and gives a sharp assessment of Nathan Sobey’s season so far.

We also unpack roster moves across the league, including Hunter Maldonado being axed, Ian Clark’s arrival to replace him at South East Melbourne, and whether Javale McGee is unwittingly behind Illawarra’s defensive problems — or just an easy scapegoat.

Add in three overtime thrillers, foul-baiting debates, commentator criticism, and a genuine discussion about Christmas Day games, and you’ve got one of the most honest episodes yet.
