Yes your right, everything I have gone through, is 482, best get that right for the night. Also the club is using the word 'milestone' as in AFL and other codes it is actually an 'achievement' and it will continually change, where as a milestone is a set target mirrored and acknowledged by NBL and adopted by teams, Brett has achieved a 'record' set by another player.

Hope the club clear this up and also congratulations to both players.

Davis 482 AFAIK.

also Mark Davis gets honoured by the Sixers - 09 October 2002

woohooo..congrats Brett, playing the record breaking game right here in Perth..you will hear the 3 of us cheering the achievement.

so..can anyone confirm the facts here, following is a section of Boti's column today..which still says davis on 481???

"October 04, 2007 02:15am
IT is a long road from wide-eyed rookie to the iconic face of a basketball club but it is a path Brett Maher steers all on his own from Saturday.....

....When he runs out onto the Distinctive Homes Dome hardwood on Saturday night for the 244th time, he will line up for his 482nd NBL game with the 36ers, leaving Mark Davis behind on 481 games"


anyone certain?

Who knows.

36ers History - History of Adelaide Pura Milk 36ERS

Many of the NBL's greatest players have worn 36ers colours during their career and include the likes of rebounding-champion Mark Davis, current captain and Sydney 2000 Olympian Brett Maher, three-time NBL Best Defensive Player Darnell Mee, and dynamic guards Mike McKay, Al Green and Darryl Pearce.

Davis holds the 36ers all-time records for games played (482), points (8752), blocks (301), steals (481), and rebounds (5200), with his prowess in the latter earning him the nickname "Chairman of the Boards".

An import from the USA when he first played in 1985, Davis spent the next 15 years competing for Adelaide and played eight games for Australia after becoming a naturalized citizen.

Davis was the NBL's all-time leading rebounder, a member of the NBL 20th Season Team, a three-time championship winner, and a five-time selection to the All-NBL First Team.

Four enter NBL Hall of Fame

Loggins, Davis, Borner and Kerle receive ultimate honour
The National Basketball League (NBL) has named legendary Philips Championship players Leroy Loggins, Mark Davis and Ray Borner along with celebrated coach Brian Kerle as the 2006 inductees to the NBL Hall of Fame.

Joining Loggins in the Hall is Adelaide's irrepressible rebounding machine, Mark Davis. Known as the 'Chairman of the Boards' during his career, Davis had at least 20 rebounds in a game on 40 different occasions and remains second all-time in the NBL in rebounding behind only Brisbane's Mark Bradtke. Davis won the NBL's MVP award in 1987 and snared three championship rings with Adelaide in 1986,1998 and 1998-99 during his 481-game career.

For the sake of the argument can we say Pudd played 481.5 games?

I can not believe there is contrary information out there about the clubs history. One would hope that the club has got it right though.

That's the nbl for you.

How about this list

Most games played for any one club:
612  Andrew Gaze (Melbourne)
513  Leroy Loggins (Brisbane)
482  Ricky Grace (Perth)
481  Brett Maher (Adelaide)
448  Lanard Copeland (Melbourne)

i believe the club and the nbl have got it wrong. it seems davis has had 1 match and about 20 points deleted from his records some time since his retirement.

as far as i'm concerned, davis played 482 games for the sixers, not 481. maher is playing his 482nd against the dragons and then his 483rd against the wildcats in perth, which will be the REAL record-breaker.

maybe it's a marketing and promotional move by the club;- give maher the record in front of his home crowd, against shane heal, have davis there for the presentation etc, rather than have the record fall in perth when no-one will notice or care.

the only other possible scenario i can come up with is that, i beleive, davis earned himself a couple of didnt play (coach decison) in his final season. maybe 1 of these was credited to him by mistake and removed retrospectively. i'm sure someone would know.
