A Canberra man has found a way to fill a long summer without footy.
With no more Friday or Saturday night NRL until next March, Adam was wondering what he was going to do.
“I usually watch a bit of cricket or see whatever movie the misso and kids put on, but they were out last night at the in-laws.”
Adam was flicking through Kayo when he found the Adelaide vs Brisbane NBL game.
“The more I watched, the more I got into it. It was pretty entertaining.”
Adam then stayed up to watch the later Perth vs Tasmania game.
“That one was even better. Tassie led early, Perth got out to a big lead, but Tassie nearly got them in the end.”
While he’s happy to watch as a neutral fan and won’t ‘adopt’ a team, Adam is planning to watch every Friday and Saturday night NBL game.
“I used to watch the Cannons and Capitals back in the day, but I lost interest when they left. I’d forgotten how entertaining basketball is. If Canberra gets back in, then I’ll be really invested.”
