Barely. I remembered Cecil as a name. Wasn't it just when Nth Melb Giants changed name from Coburg and moved to the Glass House?

Yeah, was back in the day hey. I remember it was also when the Tigers used to train at the old courts in Albert Park. My sister used to go down as she just loooooved Andrew Gaze and the Daves.
Will have to look up if there is any old footage of Cecil, as I am sure Lesley would love to consider his caboose.

B-ball has faded from me nowadays, but I was still a close follower of NBL, NBA & NCAA. I met a few Coburg Giant players in 1985 when doing work experience at a little merchandise shop in Coburg/Preston call Fiddes Sports where Woosha (Peter Welsh) was a supplier.
Sometimes I keep thinking Gaze played for Syracuse Orangemen, but it was Seton Hall. Getting older shows how memories clash. ;D

That's the one mate. If I remember correctly (iffy at best...) Gaze took Seton Hall further than they had ever been.
But back to the Pel's, traded for Russ Smith from Louisiana Cardinals. He looks like he will bring a lot to the team, as he has had to work his backside off but did so and become one of the school's best ever.
Go Pelicans!

Pelicans...heh heh funny nickname for that Noo Orrlins team. ;D Geez...this Bobcats/Hornets/Charlotte story is one big mess.
Thon Maker, he could be anything.
Reminds me of a young Kevin Garnett.
The next Olympics our team could be Patty Mills (Torres Straight Islander), Dante Exum (USA), Benny Simmons (USA), Thon Maker (Somilla) & Bogut (Croat).
Joe Ingles the odd man out. ;D

Agree it's that multicultural flavour coming through.
People don't see basketball as having that impact but with the African, Croat, Turkish communities that have come to Australia basketball is hugely popular.
Quickly challenging soccer as the global game.
NBA promote the game globally better than any ever sport.

The most poorly run sport in Australia by so far. Basketball Australia are clowns. The NBL is run like a midweek Albert Park comp.
Fancy letting your biggest and most well know brand, change it's name. If basketball ever gets it's stuff together look out.
Basketball is in the same spot in 2014 as soccer was in 2000-01. Change or die.
Can't believe it hasn't been raised buuut... LeBron James has signed for two years back with the Cav's!
Carmelo Anthony looks a lock to stay in New York.
Paul Pierce appears to be heading to Washington
Lin to Miama
Pau Gasol is heading to Chicago
Busy times in the NBA these days

Finally Asik has signed on with the Pels. He is sure to bring an immediate improvement to the team's defense, a boost to the offense and help keep AD a lock at Power Forward. Oh yeah!
During his 'not playing as a back-up to someone else' season, Asik averaged a double double with 10.? points and 11.? rebounds a game. Not too shabby.
