Tosan Evbuomwan (
@Tosan_Evb
) has started the last 2 games for Detroit Pistons
Undrafted and a few 10 days and 2 ways the 🇬🇧 born,raised and trained player is now an NBA starter.Yet not seeing much from the UK fans and media about it
In them starts he's averaged 12.5pts, 6.0rebs
newcastle eagles fans this is a question for you. do you think we should give Josh Moore a permanent spot on the BBL & ENBL roster?or just BBL? he's working hard and looks ready to perform.

the fact that london lions fans are still taking offense to a little tongue in cheek comment made by a coach who had just won a massive piece of silverware thanks to the support of the fans and players, is bewildering. fucking move on and grow up

masterplan for 🇬🇧🏀 was never, ever about growing the sport sustainably in the UK or allowing the league and game to thrive.
Despite their many protestations to the contrary, 777 was
massive fan of this decision by the gladiators, think its vital for all teams in the BBL to allow their youngsters to flourish if they have the skill required for the pros, essential for the players development
My heartfelt apologies go out to everyone at plymouth who will have been through the ringer. Good workers who to no fault of their own are out of a job now
lets talk about the most biased commentary i think we could’ve witnessed during the weekend of the BBL trophy semis and finals, this was unbelievably poor quality of commentary and there needs to be an element of accountability from the fans which there has been luckily
just listening to the
@BelowThePod
podcast featuring
@pbsportswriter
and it really has been absolutely eye opening, missed payments, foreclosure on all assets, and most importantly the court battles that 777 are facing. As paul says, the BBF/BBL must come to a resolution quickly.
A fine example of how the incredible staff at

another fantastic signing, looks like an absolute DAWG. gonna need some player chants soon, along with a certain Scotswood road one ;)
This is a great opening episode so far, plugging a hole which has been in the game for the short three years i have been a fan for. I hope to see conversations with those in admin positions within the governing bodies + those who head youth development, it needs fixing.
gonna come back to this, todays result will do so many wonders i reckon for the academy, the ladies team, lead by

watching a fanbase like hapoel jerusalem makes me wonder if it would ever be possible for a UK basketball; fanbase to reach this level? it would be amazing but the fanbases over here are quite monotonous to say the least apart from a few. We have to spice things up!
the team with the budget that surpasses the other teams in the league combined have really acted like a bunch of spoiled brats. good luck in your future endeavours unless 777 are bought out

‼️ "The fact that BLL has entered into creditor arrangements with two of its largest creditors, indicates that BLL is no longer able to carry out its functions as operator of the British Basketball League. The BBF Board has therefore unanimously agreed to terminate the Licence
justification for that bias by certain individuals is honestly showing more of their character than the average bbl fan. we will not sit back and allow the standards to slip cause we have some amazing commentators who shouldve been utilised, DO BETTER
@britishbasketm
a necessary read for all British basketball fans, really dives into the optimism for the upcoming window and the progression since the permanent hires of Clark and Steuts
Ahead of tonight's EuroBasket 2025 qualifier, we sat down with GB GM Dan Clark to discuss preparation for this window, putting a squad together, and the work that's being done to build trust back into the national team.

lots of mixed emotions regarding the season and the league's future but for now can't wait to be at the VMA next thursday ready for the first game of the season.
The league table has been reset. It's almost time.
It's a new year. New teams. New faces. This time next week, the British Basketball League returns.
What do you think the table will look like come the end of the regular season?
#BritishBasketball
Gotta give my flowers to josh Moore once again, looks like he's had a fantastic summer working with LGA. I really think he should be in the rotation this year, thoughts?
if the bbl actually want to be taking seriously as a league on the up, then a good basis for that should be the commentary, they are the narrators which pain the picture for us and should tell the story unfolding on the court. this means both teams need equal coverage
This is an absolute superb read, which really depicts one of the many ways that GB have been failing our youth. share it, retweet it, we must have change NOW.
Our failure in the GB u20s (our worst performance in the comp for 14 years), shows a failure in the process of team selection and domestic development (🧵).
with regards to
@CheshireNix
however, the way that the club have conducted themselves over the past season, being very confident with their recruitment this year, no chopping and changing of the roster, its a testament to the progress of the club to overcome

most important game since our playoff title run, we must get behind the lads tonight and carry them over the line so this time next week we can be cheering them on in a semi final. HWTL 🤍🖤
