It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Considering everyone else is getting gifts, why shouldn’t we, the wider Aussie basketball public, also get some?

Once again I have taken on, rather selfishly, the honour of compiling our wish list for Christmas. We’ve got the classics, like gold, silver, health and prosperity, but there is also some stuff like draft picks and a concrete starting spot which you might not see on the regular list.

Santa Claus, listen up…


Medals, medals, medals

An Olympic year means Aussie basketball fans truly only desire one thing. Medals!
