B&B: Wortho, on anything and everything'ball
HE'S won championships, been a dual-Olympian and multiple Boomer, been through the US college system and even played professionally in Europe. He is, of course, Mark "Wortho" Worthington, and Brad Rosen and I got to pick his brain for this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
Losing my Religion. Bye, Sam, Isaac, Alex
PODCAST colleague and friend Brad Rosen and I like to banter about our long-standing affiliations to our NBL clubs - Sydney Kings and Adelaide 36ers respectively - but I can honestly (and sadly) confirm I have absolutely zero affinity for the Sixers of this era.
United sweeps wounded Wildcats for title #2
MELBOURNE United tonight became a dual-NBL champion when it delivered the final telling blow 81-76 to a gallant Perth Wildcats, sweeping their best-of-five Grand Final Series 3-0.
B&B: We come to the Mountain
DEAN Uthoff terrorised the NBL playing landscape for most of 1983 to 1996, an American import standing at an imposing 208cm and weighing 122kg, most of which was rippling muscle. As Brad Rosen and I found with this week's Brad&Boti podcast, fearsome Dean was actually a gentle giant.

WELL this was certainly the most humbling experience in my life as a basketball lover, writer, and aficionado - learning of my own induction into the BASKETBALL SA Hall of Fame within its Class of 2021.

WITH a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five NBL Grand Final series and both wins on the road in Perth, Melbourne has assured itself of a second NBL championship, but wow, the Wildcats have covered themselves in glory.
Brave, bold but beaten, not bowed
MAKE no bones about it. Defending NBL champion Perth was battered, brave, bold and even brilliant, but also ultimately beaten, leaving little doubt Melbourne United now is unbackable for the 2021 championship.
B&B: Our wild cat is a true Blue
THERE has been one elusive exclusive interview guest Brad Rosen and I have been trying to secure for our Brad&Boti podcast and if you tune in this week, you'll understand exactly why.
Here's a clue. Think "Best Defensive" though "Most Candid" would work too.
Melbourne v Perth, that's unexpected!
THE NBL all year has pumped its own tyres with the slogan "Expect the Unexpected" but in reality, a best-of-five Melbourne-Perth Grand Final Series has been self-evident pretty much from Season 2021's earliest rounds.
MVP hat-trick tip for Bryce
TOMORROW night when the NBL declares its 2021 award winners, expect Perth superstar Bryce Cotton to genuinely be elevated into the conversation of "the greatest" by joining the benchmark - Leroy Loggins - as a three-time MVP winner.
