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.
Tall Tales But True: Book Review
BOOK REVIEW: Chris Anstey will win a lot of friends and influence others with his first effort at putting pen to paper, "TALL TALES: What the Whiteboard Never Taught Me" far more a collection of inspirational and immediately adaptable philosophies than a mere memoir.
Basketball SA Hall of Fame inductees: Geoff Weeks
TICKETS are on sale now for the induction and presentation dinner of the 2021 Class to the BASKETBALL SA Hall of Fame, the gala event to be staged at Stamford Grand on Friday, July 9, and where the man regarded as the state's greatest referee, Geoff Weeks, will join the sport's immortals.

INVITED to join Joseph Corr and Andrew Canion on their NBL Pocket Podcast to discuss the likely award recipients, finals winners, review the "dead" teams and traverse many other blind alleys, I foolishly accepted and now I feel cheap and dirty.
NBL21 TotW Rd.21: United they stood
A COUPLE of candidates raised their hands in NBL Round 21 for consideration as our final Team of the Week for this season but in the end, the answer stood out like Jock Landale in an under-12 huddle.
NBL21 Rd21 Wrap: OK then, let's get on with it.
DEFENDING NBL champion Perth tips off the 2021 best-of-three semi finals at home on Thursday against the incoming Illawarra Hawks while the rival semi final starts Friday in Sydney and features a Victorian derby between Melbourne and South East Melbourne.
B&B: A 'giant' of the game joins us
THIS week, Brad Rosen and I managed to secure one of our game's American-born greats, North Melbourne Giants' NBL championship coach and character Bruce Palmer. Originally recruited as a player by Melbourne Tigers, he became a player-coach at Coburg Giants, then became one of the league's most innovative coaching talents.
