Copeland to play 500th

Nice story from Boti Nagy on AdelaideNow today about Lanard Copeland as he heads towards his 500th NBL game on Saturday.

Read it here

Only the eighth player in NBL history to do so. I think NBL fans will always appreciate those imports who have come to Australia, put in a hefty NBL stint, and then stayed around with family and friends.

Congratulations (in advance) to Lanard for reaching the 500.

How about his first game, what a start.

In his NBL debut against Canberra, he had 10 points at three-quarter time, Melbourne down 71-79. He then exploded for 27 points in the last quarter, outscoring Canberra for a 37-point debut in a 112-104 win.


All I remember is from Channel 10 ball is Gaze to Copeland alley-oops. Aaaaah those were the days.
