The London Towers 🟡⚫️

A fan account of the former London Towers. one of the greatest @BBLofficial teams of all time.

[Chris Noad @ChrisNoad]

@JoshBett1 @TheLondonTowers @BBLofficial Was introduced to basketball by @CoachBillyMims and his Leopards but watched games at Crystal Palace a few times. Even played there once or twice at junior level on the Towers court. Difficult place to play due to the humidity caused by the swimming pool!

[Josh Bett @JoshBett1]

It finally arrived, if you love #BritishBasketball than you will know @TheLondonTowers were more than just a @BBLofficial club. It was a home for boys and girls to play basketball and a pathway. Sometimes that was in tower hamlets, Wembley, and finally Crystal Palace. 🟡⚫️🟡⚫️

Throwback to 2004 or 2005, when The East London Royals played against @TheLondonTowers

@Sack_Religious inbounds the ball of a press break, and @ajukobe goes coast to coast with the spinout!

Yes we remember defeating 2019 @NBA champions coach and assistant of the @Raptors and we do remember a 10 year old @JoshBett1 who was the ball boy not doing his job to share the sponsor @OfficialHARIBO sweets with both the towers and @McrGiants fans.

[Josh Bett @JoshBett1]

20 years ago I was sitting on @TheLondonTowers bench eating @OfficialHARIBO I was suppose to be throwing them into the crowd. @brand161mcr was sitting in the crowd, and he has only just remembered who that kid was “It was little Josh Bett!” 😂

Our former head coach Nick Nurse was great, but what year did he win coach of the year for the Brighton Bears? #BritishBasketball @BBLofficial

[Josh Bett @JoshBett1]

This week on @BelowThePod we did a #BritishBasketball history trivia on Brighton Bears and MCR Giants. @PabloCheeksBTR & @brand161mcr took part. Pablo is being asked what year did current @Raptors coach Nick Nurse win BBL coach of the year with Brighton Bears?
