Basketball On The Internet.

FIRST day of May, songbirds are singing, it's the beginning, hip hip hooray. Oh. Apologies. Excuse me. Welcome to May 1, with our monthly 2001 NBL calendar revisit.

Back in 2001, the NBL launched its first nude calendar, massaging the project's name from the much-used "nothing but net" basketball term to "Nothin' ... but skin".

I came across my copy of this masterpiece which featured not 12 but 13 of our game's superstars of that era and judging by reactions, old NBL fans have been particularly enjoying this Memory Lane meander.

So let's bounce a ball and see who we have...

MR MAY: Then a Brisbane Bullets guard, the once controversial figure, Simon Kerle.
