Bob's Corner: Happy anniversary baby, Part II
.jpg)
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: 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!
Time now for Opals to move forward
WE watched together with some measure of sadness at the performance of the Opals at the Tokyo Olympic Games, then with some hope at what may be to come from the fresh faces at the Asia Cup. Ahead of next year's FIBA World Cup, it's time for Basketball Australia to be proactive.
Asia Cup: Sami soars as Opals roar to Bronze
OPALS captain Sami Whitcomb was named in the FIBA Asia Cup All Star Five shortly after Australia thrashed Korea 88-58 to claim its second Bronze Medal at the biennial tournament last night.
Asia Cup: Bronze goal for jade-and-gold Opals
GALLANT and gritty to the final siren, Australia still again came up short last night against Japan, losing their Asia Cup semi final 65-67 to set up a Bronze Medal tryst against Korea in Jordan.
Bob's Corner: Storm in teacup, new champ soon

BOB'S CORNER: The home team of our U.S. correspondent Bob Craven, is the Seattle Storm but sadly for him - and all those Aussie fans who jumped aboard that club when Lauren Jackson was starring there and stayed aboard with Ezi Magbegor and Steph Talbot now there - they have been bundled out of the WNBA playoffs. That and more here ...
