This week's 3-pointer:
🌟 British Basketball League All-Star Game returns!
A lot of younger fans have been calling for it (and some older fans lambasting it!) but the British Basketball League All-Star Game makes a return in March for the first time since 2011.
As part of the leagues format changes brought in this season, the event will see both a men's and women's games, pitting the best players split into North and South Teams, along with a 3-point shoot out, dunk contest and skills challenge, plus the first induction ceremony for the new Hall of Fame.
Tickets are already selling fast - the event is at the Copper Box on Sunday Marhc 17, so only approx 5,000 went on sale - so get yours now before they're gone!
🎬 Rhonnda Rebels doc airs on BBC
Defo worth putting aside 30 minutes of your day to watch this. It's rare we get tv-quality production to tell British basketball stories, and this is exactly what this was. Rhonnda are one of the most legendary teams in basketball history and it's awesome to see their story told to ensure it can never be forgotten!
🇺🇸 Megan Jones is second in the entirety of NCAA DII in blocks
Great to see some Brits continue to make big time impact in the US college scene, including Megan Jones and Fatz Janneh being on a double-double streak just before Christmas, plus a career-high 32 for Great Osobor to start the New Year!
That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else!
With gratitude,
Sam
