A few years ago a BBL player, 5 games into his pro career (averaging 17 & 12) slipped on a dodgy court and never played professionally again. Just worth remembering that if you are going to question the refs decisions

I messed up tonight, two calls wrong. Fine to be wrong on the grey, but not the black and white, so I take responsibility for that. Happens every now and then, but hands up and be right next time

Wow @NewcastleEagle just kept coming back in these POs, sensational win in the Final! @Cortez15_ absolutely tremendous, three assists short of a triple-double, EFF of 41 easy pick for MVP

Personal view, but some of the most moving collective sharings of emotions, both joyful and sad, I've been party to have been at sporting events. The wholesale cancellation of sporting events denies people an avenue to collectively share at a time they may appreciate it

It's quite incredible what is going on in DC. In a country where police will shoot black people out of perceived fear, they basically allow a white group to storm the capitol building. They were beating up Australian journalists outside a few months ago, but this lot stroll in?

On his final @BBLofficial appearance, hat tip to @AlexOwumi . 3635 BBL points (15.6pg), 1292 rebs (5.5), 719 assists (3.1). Also responsible for the best Glasgow road trip I ever had (Audible edition of Qaddafi's Point Guard) where the game completely got in the way of the drive!!

I don't believe in looking at the table at this time of the season, it's way too early. But, heck, it's been so long since I posted one so I'll make an exception. Drink it in @McrGiants fans...
