Basketball On The Internet.

*FLASHBACKS, my irregular "lucky dip" where I just reach into my drawers of old Australian basketball stuff and transcribe whatever I find for you.

TRULY, I'm continuing to dig and scratch around for old pics because of the genuinely positive reaction the website keeps getting for their reproduction.

So here's another cross-section from the past to get you smiling. And, as with the disclaimer at the end of Mission Impossible TV assignments, the secretary disavows any knowledge of my actions and apologises for the ordinary quality in some cases.

(Have no fears though, unlike Mission Impossible, none of this will self-destruct in five seconds.)
