San Antonio’s spiritual leader: Patty Mills is the longest tenured Spur. The franchise has become a part of him: “I breathe, eat and sleep the Spurs way and culture,” says Mills. My feature on how Mills rode the rollercoaster and kept his Spurs afloat. bit.ly/2TXFNPq

The emotion was raw but the contrast was evident. One had been here before, the other experiencing it for the first time. On Patty Mills and Josh Giddey's words, the end of an era and THE big question facing Aussie hoops...how do they keep up? espn.com.au/olympics/story…


Fitting way for Patty to go out. First half was incredible. Sloppiness and turnovers eventually got the Boomers, like they have over the last 18 months. Focus for new coach is modernising and adding creativity to the offence. Won’t see a better game than that all tournament.


Boomers will still probably make it through, but that was a very poor showing. This isn't a medal winning team. The turnovers and sloppiness killed them. Just like the FIBA WC last year, they looked disorganised when the games mattered most.


That’s an embarrassing half from the Boomers. Turnovers. Run outs. Missed free throws. Lack of defensive rebounds. Getting hunted on defence. Greece are getting everything they want on both ends. Need to hope Landale avoids anymore fouls. He's vital to any chance of a comeback.


Credit to Brian Goorjian - the tighter rotation tonight is optimising this team. Dyson Daniels has been terrific on both ends. He and Landale have got to play most of the second half.


Landale was fantastic today - made big plays every time Spain got close. Also loved Josh Green's energy in the second half. Giddey, Mills & Landale surrounded by athletic wings is the blueprint moving forward.

The Josh Giddey - Jock Landale connection has been cooking all through the exhibition games. The pair have been absolutely monstrous in the opener against Spain.

All the calls made that half incredibly frustrating to watch, but the Boomers look good out there so far. When Giddey's playing at this level, we're going to be tough to beat. Thought Daniels was phenomenal defensively as well.


Giddey's consistent offence is the difference so far. Boomers look much better with Daniels & Landale playing around him. Double digit win is waiting for the Boomers if they tighten the rotation + better protect the 3 point line (20 3PA from Spain is way too high).

With the first pick in the 2024 Major League Baseball Draft, the Cleveland Guardians are taking second baseman Travis Bazzana from Oregon State. If you want to know more about him, here’s an in-depth story free at ESPN: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…


Now it's time for the board to be held accountant for the mess they have overseen. Adam Simpson will always be an Eagles great and has been left in the wind for two years.

The West Coast Eagles and senior coach Adam Simpson have mutually agreed that his 11-year tenure at the club will come to an end. westcoasteagles.com.au/news/1596912//



Don’t like this. Thybulle, Cooks (and potentially even Goulding) are much better fits than Dellavedova & Magnay with the group we are about to face in Paris. Feels like a missed opportunity and the squad is lacking wing athleticism with SGA, Murray and Luka / Giannis on deck.

The Australian Boomers team for the 2024 Paris Olympics has been finalised, sources told ESPN. Josh Giddey Dyson Daniels Josh Green Patty Mills Danté Exum Jock Landale Duop Reath Joe Ingles Jack McVeigh Will Magnay Matthew Dellavedova Nick Kay

SEN acquiring and flipping the Perth Wildcats for a 4x valuation increase within 3 years might be the best Australian sports business deal in decades. That’s one way of funding a media business!

Perth Wildcats can confirm that Sports Entertainment Group Limited (SEG) has received a non-binding indicative offer in relation to the Perth Wildcats Basketball Pty Ltd (Wildcats) of which SEG is a majority shareholder. bit.ly/4c2bGe9
