This time last year, I’d called my final NBL1 Central game of the season.
Twelve months later, the Kayo Game of the Week team is preparing for next weekend’s NBL1 Central Grand Finals, alongside commentary legend John Casey at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
This season has been full of moments I’ll always cherish. From being invited to the Norwood Flames Basketball Club and Eastern Mavericks DBC season launch events, to now looking forward to hosting interviews at the West Adelaide Basketball Club Bearcats 80th Gala next month.
Adding sideline reporting to this year’s Kayo broadcasts has also given me the opportunity to build stronger relationships with coaches and players throughout the season, and that’s been one of the highlights.
It’s also been exciting to witness the continued growth of NBL1 Central. The depth of talent across the league, the quality of the competition, and the passion shown by every club continue to raise the bar. We really are privileged to witness some exceptional athletes and people week after week.
To everyone involved in this incredible competition—players, coaches, officials, staff, volunteers, families and supporters—thank you. Your generosity, encouragement and kindness have made this season one I’ll never forget.
Good luck to everyone involved in next weekend’s Grand Finals.
I love this game, and I never take for granted the opportunities it continues to provide or the people who make our basketball community so special. 🏀♥️🏀
