Jason Smith is our Jerry West?

Read on oz hoops that the player on the new Phillips logo is Jason Smith.

Whilst at the end of the day it is the sponsor and the $ that they bring to the league that matters i am confused as to why he was chosen as the ideal embodiment of the league?

Am i alone here? i just do not see what he does apart from break down with regularity...he can not hit open shots even though he is the national starting shooting guard and he is renowned for his d even though he does not hold players below there average ppg.

i do not get it...many other players would have made a better example of a true NBL champion worthy of being honoured as the leagues logo ala Jerry West for the NBA.

I'm no great Andrew Gaze fan, but you would think he would have to be the logical choice.

Gaze is the man! He embodied all that the game of basketball is! His passion, skill, competitiveness, and deminor encompassed the game! Jason Smith is just a goat!

I;m hungry! a bag of chips would go down nicely!

They wanted to have a logo of someone jumping. That leaves Andrew out!

Mr. Smith is one of the greatest!! Great man! I still hang his Vermont #44 Jersey in my home in San Diego, California. He gave it to me when we played college ball together. He had MAD hops! He won the dunk contest! He will end up in the hall of fame. He is a superstar in California!!
