the game ends you..



andrew bogut is the nba's most wanted rookie ad Lauren jackson is wnba most wanted player ....yeah but the game is not what it can be in Australia ....not even close. Almost every outdoor court i Australia is empty. while players sit at home hoping there were more players out there like them----wishing there were courtz out there like PUCKER PARK (HARLEM NYC) wishing there was at least one court were they are guaranteed a good run-to find a player better than them.....
the main reason why all these half courts ad old school courts around australia are empty most the time is because the facilities are simply crap. unsafe , too old or not as enjoyable as a court should be ..

If we see a kid playing a ball to school, we smile knowing that's our game. The feeling we get driving past an empty court. Dreaming of better days for ball in Australia.We all love to see people love the game. show how people truly love this game..

There are only two street courts i see some action on and thats the half court next to the skate park in town and a street court on churchill road, but either school courts are so shit you wouldn't want to wear your street shoes on it or there are good courts but there all locked up?.

Compared to the usa bball just isnt as big here the input from the community in general to basketball compared to aussie rules, the gap is just massive, in sa b ball has a low profile only those that are in it have any idea wats going on.

6ixers games are only on fox compared to afl which is just on 24/7 on the weekends. the publicity that sport recieves compared to b ball is just ridiculous i mention to freind when they ask what you did on the weekend im like " watched the 6ixers play " they all look at me like WTF who are they local footy team if b ball aint careful it will end up like soccer was before all this world cup woo ha.
