You can still have nation-specific work based on local needs. But that doesnโt prevent a singular overall body that handles commercial, strategy, pathway creation and all back office, removing all the needless duplication while still allowing each nation to justify SC funding

I was there at that game - think it has to rate in one of my favourite ever basketball moments. The atmosphere was incredible in there, all behind a GB-team. Really eye-opening for what could be.

People will judge you for whatever you do. People will judge you for whatever you donโt.
So fuck the people do the thing.

The most dangerous addiction today isn't a substance.
Research on 100,000 people confirms that heavy short-form video use is just voluntary cognitive decline. We are actively training our brains to fail at hard tasks.
If you can simply sit with a problem for 10 minutes without swiping, you have a massive competitive advantage.
Basically, boredom is the new IQ.

๐๐๐ญ Finnish Basketball is one of THE great underdog stories.Their population is a standard deviation away from being unmeasurable against the rest of the world and basketball isnโt even the 2nd most popular sport in Finland. A Eurobasket medal game is a crazy achievement!
From not qualifying for EuroBasket to being a top four team in Europe in a span of 16 years. ๐๐ซ๐ฎ
Finland and Susijengi is a basketball revolution.

The iconic Brighton Beach court was given a glamorous renovation thanks to @SamNeter and the @HoopsfixFdn along with @BrightonHoveCC. In two years a tired, faded court was transformed with goals of future tournaments being held there. basketballengland.co.uk/newsโฆ

What are the odds that the best possible content you could be consuming has been produced in the last 24 hours?
The design of the Internet has us only consuming content that was created in the past 24 hours. Weโre like little hamsters on the wheel, scrolling and scrolling to keep up with an endlessly unfolding feed of content that moves faster than we can. Itโs a tragedy, I think. It didnโt need to be this way. The Internet couldโve led us to the greatest ideas of all time. The ones theyโve shaped history and stood the test of time. But instead, it traps us in a Never Ending Now.

I think home court advantage is about 4-6 points. Would give the top seed a better chance of winning, so one down side would be fewer upsets (which I think makes for great viewing)
Not sure if thatโs enough to counterbalance getting more fans in the venue to watch tho

Iโd suggest the execution more than the principle seems to be the problem. NBPC isnโt a great venue in terms of feeling special and it isnโt sold as an event. Obv seeding would only ever apply to POs, not cups. Youโd massively penalise โawayโ fans too or not benefit โhomeโ

In all major basketball countries, a part from the youth elite finals, everything it's a series

Itโs an issue for clubs like ours, we end up spending a fortune to get our teams and supporters to Manchester. Weโre lucky to have amazing parents helping with travel costs, but itโs not a level playing field. they should rotate itโone year in the South, one year in the North.

This where we were in MK:
Council has to partner to offset 90% of rates which is in their remit.
Rent is a negotiation, depending on demand.
Made more money on Rumba than basketball.

British basketball might have the worst conversion rate from player to high-level talent on the planet

We need to stop trying to mimic the NBA and instead mimic Europe! Both in the way our leagues are run but more importantly with the speed and style of the game! We need to slow down our offences and play smart, efficient, long offence basketball

The guys working for 777 within the league were genuinely trying to help โฆ (not Wander & co obviously)
