Angela Marino

I thought she deserved a fresh topic of her own.

For those new to this, Angela Marino played with Sturt in the Women's ABL this year. She was born in New Zealand and was picked for their Women's Olympic team. In NZ's first game, against the US, Marino led her team with 13.

I found a photo that explains why she was 1/15 from inside the 3-point line, and 5/6 from outside in the game against Korea:



She finished with 19 in that game; equal second best for NZ.

By the way, look at the empty seats. Still 2m tickets unsold in Athens and I've heard that the IOC is ordering that tickets be given away to get fans in because it looks embarrassing.

Don't forget to mention she's only bottom-age U20s....making her turning 18 in 2004.

I heard that they only sold 2.5million tickets to this Olympics, of their target of 5mil.

At Sydney over 9mil tickets were sold, at higher prices.

1/15 2pt FG, lols..

Well done Angela. It's a pity Phil Brown didn't regonize your talent. Yet another loss to us. Phil - You don't have to come from Vic or be 6 foot plus to success.

it is just a shame that as a point guard she has no mentality about playing for the team. sad. i saw her play some games near the end of the season for sturt. she just tried to do it all herself, which inturn ended up hurting the team. go sturt.

This is going to sound like a contrived story, but I was in her class in Yr9 in Whyalla and she is the most arrogant person you are likely to meet, and was determined she was going to be a star. I wish her all the best.

Angela has more guts in her little toe than most of her team mates put together, other wise she would have left the caps weeks ago. Go Angela you will prove your worth at the Commonwealth Games next year and at the Olympics in 2008, while Graffy and the rest watch on T.V.

I don't know about guts, but she certainly has the looks. She is the best looking of all the caps and entertaining when she gets the chance to show it. Imagine the Alana/Angela show. Wouldn't that be entertainment plus but I guess we will never know.

I think you will find that Angela wouldnt even bother with a forum like this, she would be out training, shooting hoops or studying for her Law exams.

GrEeN, and sturt groupie,you both may be right.

What was being pointed out was that basketball wise at the WNBL level she is finished at Canberra...which WNBL team will sign her next.

Chimbu, I don't think there is any team in the WNBL who wouldn't be glad to pick up a talent like Angela and give her twice the time she is getting with the Caps. I bet Graffi will have egg all over her face after the Comm. Games, especially if the Caps don't win this season. My tip for next year Adelaide.

If your saying that she is going to play for Adelaide there will be at 7 guards in the team. That's with Chris asking about other guard I know of as well. Maybe not a good move for her.

Angela Marino is a great shooter, no question about it. The thing that I dislike about her is she is a shoot first pass second guard and her running jumpshot... Well.. It speaks for itself :P

Angela Marino is still a top player and will continue to improve! She isn't the best though... Who would you rather have Lauren Jackson or Angela Marino?

If she was very, very, very wonderful my dear she'd be playing for Australia and not NZ. She's a very, very, very wonderful NZ player which says it all.
