NBL: Tom slams into 400 and Phoenix rise
WHAT an outstanding way to honour the 400th game of the ultimate Breaker, Thomas Abercrombie, by opening New Zealand’s clash with arch rival Cairns running a sweet backdoor play for the lob and slam dunk by that nation’s greatest NBL stalwart.
OK. Now the NBL is rolling
SENSATIONAL. It took until the third game of the NBL’s new season, but fans finally saw a cracker, Perth Wildcats staving off Tasmania JackJumpers 101-95, Jordan Usher delighting the 12,000-plus at RAC Arena with a club record 35-point debut at 65 per cent.
Great night. Pity about the basketball

WHAT a ghastly tip-off to the NBL season. Melbourne United, shooting at a mind-numbing 35 per cent, saw off crosstown rival South East Melbourne 82-67, who, while managing to deliver a total only Aaron Fearne could love, shot the ball at an unconscionable 29 per cent. Magnificent opening night crowd, celebrity row fully in tow and Scottie Pippen along for the ride, it sure turned bumpy fast.

Taipans set for NBL-NBA debut

Mitsubishi back in NBL driver's seat
HAVE you been following the NBL long enough to remember the "Mitsubishi Challenge"? It was some 23 years back when the motoring giant backed the game for almost a decade in Australia and - like Hungry Jack's - it is back on board as a major partner of our burgeoning league.
Sydney's 'to and fro' as Keely goes but DJ on song
IT has been a monumental day for Sydney's national league teams, with Keely Froling leaving the Flames for the rebuilding Deakin Melbourne Boomers, but DJ Hogg joining the NBL champion Kings after a break-out season at Cairns Taipans.
Starling a star signing for Sixers
WHEN the talk turns to "mature-age recruits", few will top the Adelaide 36ers recent signing of star American NBL1 Central forward Alex Starling, who as a recently naturalised Aussie, will make his long overdue NBL debut as a 34-year-old warrior in Season 2023-24.
The Chase is over
SYDNEY Kings have decided to move on from dual-NBL championship-winning coach Chase Buford, choosing not to take up their contract option for a third year while he seeks new opportunities in the NBA. The club plans a global search for his replacement.
Tassie footy duo acknowledge JJs role
SHOWING they were Tasmanians first and AFL footballers second, Richmond's Jack Riewoldt and Collingwood's Jeremy Howe defied the unspoken footy law to ignore the NBL and on Thursday night's AFL 360 Plus acknowledged the huge difference the JackJumpers made to sport on the Apple Isle.
