Kings hold serve, now heat on NZ

In: NBL — Friday, 10 Mar, 2023

AN NBL record attendance of 18,049 at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena tonight watched mesmerised as the defending champion Kings banged a nail into New Zealand's coffin with a comprehensive 91-68 rout, built on a second half defensive masterclass and a reasonably acceptable contribution by Tim Soares.

Kings of heart as Breakers choke

In: NBL — Sunday, 5 Mar, 2023

THE words "never under-estimate the heart of a champion" were rarely more apt than today in Auckland as the defending NBL champion Sydney Kings, behind the all-court efforts of Justin Simon and a cast of role players, erased Friday's Championship Series home loss to New Zealand with an 81-74 devastation.

In: NBL — Friday, 3 Mar, 2023

WHILE gifted playmaker William McDowell-White tonight flirted with a triple-double, his New Zealand Breakers simply overwhelmed the defending NBL champion Kings in Sydney 95-87 to seize a 1-0 lead in the Championship Series, with Game 2 at a sold-out Spark Arena in Auckland on Sunday.

In: NBL — Thursday, 2 Mar, 2023

THE battles have been fought and won. The awards declared. Few would dispute the NBL's regular season has been one of its most outstanding, crowd and viewership numbers all at recent record highs.

THIS year's FIBA World Cup will feature four debutante national men's teams including the fairytale story of South Sudan, which has much to thank the NBL for, with Sunday Dech one of five players from our league who helped their original nation through to the tournament-proper.

NBL, BA, FIBA ... Maybe have a Chat?

In: NBL, Boomers & Opals — Thursday, 23 Feb, 2023

OUR Australia E team tips off tonight now in its second-last FIBA World Cup qualifying game - the Boomers have already qualified by the way - against Bahrain but this disruption to the NBL Championship Series truly is unconscionable and just makes winning their fourth title that much tougher for Mody Maor's New Zealand.

And in the end ... the correct teams are there

In: NBL — Sunday, 19 Feb, 2023

THE NBL genuinely enjoyed an amazing regular season, its "play-in" tournament a huge success and both semi finals went the distance to produce the Grand Final - oops, "Championship Series" - between Sydney and New Zealand many craved and expected.

If you don’t really give a flying frapdoodle (thank you Bill Palmer), that’s easy, skip this link and just move on back to the stories as they tumble in over the coming days. But if you enjoy true horror...
