What can Australian Boxing learn from the rebuild & rise of the NBL?
Let’s find out!
On this episode I am joined by current broadcaster and basketball reporter for ESPN, host of ‘Nothing But Net’ covering all things NBA, Boomers, Opals and the NBL, one of the best young broadcasters in any sport we’ve got in this country, it’s Kane Pitman.
The resurgence of Aussie boxing and the rise of the NBL happened at eerily similar times, with some crossovers in common but also many things the NBL did right and Aussie boxing has failed to learn from. Kane lays out the timeline for us and retraces the steps the NBL took to take itself off life support and build itself back in to a thriving world-class league.
We also chat some general B-Ball, I expose my total lack of actual hoop knowledge + more!
