FLASHBACK 43: MEMORY LANE
Tweet*FLASHBACKS, my irregular "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.
GOING a different route today with just a few random Flashback photos I just came across. I hope they spark a memory or two for you.
LUUUUUUC! Luc Longley fires over the USA's David Robinson at the Seoul Olympics.
LEE-PING: Oregon's Ron Lee drives past SA's Laurie Harcus to find Ken Richardson waiting.
MAARK OF THE DAY? Karin Maar for Coburg with a rebound, Nunawading's Gaylene McKay, left
NOT SIMPLE FOR SIMON: St Kilda's Russell Simon competing with Cincinatti's Robert Miller.
FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE AUSTRALIAN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP: A promo pic of interstate "bigs" we used in 1978 I think, with, from left, Rick Longley, Peter Lopez, Dick Stubbs and Ian Manson.
HIGH FLYERS: Fiona Robinson goes up for two points to the AIS and yes, that is the WNBA's top coach, Sandy Brondello in the background.
RESPECT YOUR ELDERS: South's Elder Palmer,
with a jumpshot over Adelaide's Uldis Bruns.
SOVIET MISSILE: Larry Sengstock soars over the USSR, circa 1987-88.
And for those of you who did wonder, thanks to Bern Bruning, I can now name everyone in the picture below from the SA team which toured New Zealand in 1961.
