And the Washington Bullets! In his book he said some scumbag stole his only bullets jersey out of the back of his car in LA just before he flew home ✈️
Longley was a starting center for a lot of his career. His minutes are from the way teams rotated players. His stats are from the role he played on the teams that he was on. They never needed him to do a lot. I have great memories and respect for Longley. In Chicago the team was not a center dominant team, which was rare back then.
Andrew Bogut has extremely high handling skills and passing sense for a center. However, due to his large size and weight, he was plagued by knee injuries in the later stages of his career, and his playing time was carefully managed.
I just realized how many aussies are in the NBA , and most of them were fringe NBA players that I found myself rooting for every year. After Ryan Broekhoff's contract ended with the Mavs my sixers brought him in , and I believe he was one of the last cuts. I was hoping he'd make the team , Joe Ingles always liked his savvy , crafty all around game. Jonah Bolden which my sixers drafted , I liked what he showed , I wish he was given longer to adjust to the NBA. You realize with most these guys it boils down to fit , & truly being afforded an opportunity by a team that believes in you, & because of that they give you some chances to make mistakes & learn from them.
Good video but if i had some constructive criticism it would be to delve a little bit further into each players career. You didn’t even mention Andrew Bogut’s horrific injury whilst with the Bucks and how it changed the trajectory of his career forever.
But i do also appreciate you covered every Oz player so couldn’t do in depth. Just with him being such an influential player i thought he could of got a bit more coverage
Never considered Kyrie to be Australian. He's like Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, born in Melbourne. But grew up in America, so he's more American than anything else
According to Wikipedia he holds duel citizenship. He was born in Melbourne and lived there untill he was 2. Agree its a stretch but he technically counts
You missed Andrew Gaze, played with the Spurs in 1999 and also won a ring.
Only one of the greatest Aussie player ever 🤦♂️
And the Washington Bullets! In his book he said some scumbag stole his only bullets jersey out of the back of his car in LA just before he flew home ✈️
How do you forget Gazey bro 💀💀💀 homie didn’t do enough research
Andrew gaze
My favourite gotta be Joe Ingles , that OKC Jazz series and fun fact he buried the most 3's in Jazz History !
Love the video, disappointing to not see Gaze. I think, if you were to do it again, you would include him

It has been a while since your last upload. Welcome back!

Oath, I always consider him to be the OG Jokic (in terms of passing and Point Center play) Not as refined as Jokic is atm but he had impressive skills
Brilliant video very different and interesting content!
Andrew Gaze?
Mate! Andrew Gaze with the Washington Bullets in 1994 and then the San Antonio Spurs in 1999 for a ring.

You should do an updated version with Jack McVeigh
Lanard Copeland be a certified legend ngl
How could you leave out Andrew Gaze. NAUGHTY!!
The Hawks must love Australians! 🇦🇺 ❤

My fav is def Kyrie Irving
Never considered Kyrie to be Australian. He's like Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, born in Melbourne. But grew up in America, so he's more American than anything else
He did say he had wanted to join the Australian National team but they didn’t pick him… the USA Youth did so he ended up playing for USA.
dude longley was bull and suns starting centre the game is not played like today
I heard Snoopy Graham 70ish
Aussie Aussie Aussie 🎉
Do Canadian players
Irving doesnt have duel he plays for the usa
According to Wikipedia he holds duel citizenship. He was born in Melbourne and lived there untill he was 2. Agree its a stretch but he technically counts
Having duel doesn’t mean you play for both teams. It simply means you currently hold citizenship for both countries, which Kyrie does
He did say he had wanted to join the Australian National team but they didn’t pick him… the USA Youth did so he ended up playing for USA.
This is far from every Australian to play in the NBA.
