Sun to shine on Crocs Again - Part 1
BASKETBALL boomed in 1993, the game's GOAT Michael Jordan declared Australia's most popular athlete in a national poll, the sport still glowing in the aftermath of the USA's Dream Team at the 1992 Olympics and the NBL growing with the addition of the Suns in Townsville.
United takes a smart Chance, as expected
MELBOURNE United today finally put its fanbase out of its misery, announcing Jacob Chance as the club's NBL head coach until the end of the 2029-30 season, Dean Vickerman's former assistant returning from a stint in the US as head coach of San Antonio Spurs' G-League affiliate Austin Spurs.
