@TheBlindPigPod I agree with the story telling I just think it's difficult when the teams best players leave every year. When we can create a space where people stay for multiple years the connection grows and story telling becomes easier
@israel_ajoje@Newcastle9ja It's to do with accessibility. If all local parks have a 10 foot rim and you practice on it then suddenly a game happens and it's 8 foot you'd be missing every shot so better to standardise it. They do use a smaller ball though
@UKBballWatcher@rhunt321@Surrey89ers Didn't last year either and there was still a NYD game. Appears to more be down to the Semi Final of the Trophy dates.
@tomsher00@drew21pink Trayvonn Palmer played for the Worcester Wolves during 17-18. Then played for the Pistons against the Knicks during the 20-21 season
@BritBasketDaily Only thing I would have changed is the playoffs. 8 out of 9 is a bit wild. I would have gone 6 with top 2 getting a bye in the first round.
@EJBBL I full agree with what you said I think just what concerns a few is that a 10 team league isn't that large already and given that they own 3 clubs the BBL could in theory start with 7 clubs in September and without one in London.
Laquincy Rideau during the 2023-24 season stole the ball 119 times which takes him to 2nd place for the most steals in a single season since 08 only behind Zaire Taylor who had 121 in 13-14.

@MattHardyBBL If you wanna know anything about the other teams let me know.
I too am a Big Nerd and I have spreadsheets for every BBL club to have played since 08 and every WBBL to have played
Conner Washington moves up to 1000 Rebounds in the BBL becoming just the 8th player this season to reach that mark. By reaching 1000 Rebounds he becomes just the 2nd player this season to have reached 1000 Rebounds and 1000 Assists in the BBL.
