Bob's Corner: Classic Clips and James 'does a Magic'
BOB'S CORNER: This week, US correspondent and former import Bob Craven watched as the LA Clippers did something a wee bit phenomenal in the NBA, LeBron James revisited some Magic Lakers history, WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart rocked Seattle and a new scoring record was set in NCAA women's Division 1 play. He's got it all...
Bob's Corner: Mills back on a roll
BOB'S CORNER: Our Patty not only is back but back in the black with his shooting for the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, according to our USA correspondent Bob Craven. There's all that and much more, with a host of anniversaries in this week's US round-up by our Seattle-based former American import.
Bob's Corner: Gone but not forgotten
THE year 2021 wasn't too thrilling for many but it would be remiss to watch it pass into obscurity without some measure of Memorium. Fortunately our USA correspondent and former import, big BOB CRAVEN, is always at the ready and was moved to give us an update on who we lost.
Bob's (& Pat's) Corner: Sadly, Sam won't play it again
BOB'S (& PAT'S) CORNER: OUR USA correspondent and former ACT import BOB CRAVEN is joined this week by another former American import in PAT WHALEN as they revisit the passing of Boston Celtics legend Sam Jones, Pat with a story from BOB RYAN. Enjoy.
Bob's Corner: Happy New Year
BOB'S CORNER: Our USA correspondent and former ACT import Bob Craven is back to farewell 2021 and launch us into 2022, bearing in mind the spectre of COVID is forever hovering. But in good news, the NCAA has confirmed "March Madness" will be happening regardless. Oh, and Kyrie Irving is due back.
Farewell to a giant who was never an "average Joe"
JOE Clarke was a master on the basketball court, a wizard on the footy field and a champion in the boxing ring. As a leader in the vanguard of Aboriginal and Indigenous sportspeople capable of making their mark at the highest levels, his legacy sadly is somewhat underplayed.
Bob's Corner: Danny's back, and over in Utah
BOB'S CORNER: Our US correspondent Bob Craven has been hard at work this week, compiling notable articles on Boston Celtics star Danny Aine, revisiting our own late, great Lorraine Eiler, the ravages of COVID-19 on US sports, timely anniversaries and so much more.
One of a kind, Lorraine may also have been the GOAT
SHE was the first Australian - man or woman - to win a US college scholarship, instrumental in basketball for women becoming an actual "thing" in the 50s, helped create the national championship between states and was an original Opal before they even knew they were such gems. Lorraine Eiler passed away this week, one of the greatest identities in our sport's history.
Bob's Corner: Oh for someone who can shoot!
USA correspondent BOB CRAVEN has a feast of American news to keep you busy reading this weekend, starting with an amazing - for the wrong reasons - college game. But he also has NBA news, the latest college updates and even some NBL insights to keep you captivated.
