Cody Ellis is back on Hoops Heaven's Basketball Hustle this week and we have lots to cover from around #NBL22 on and off the court, and who's travelling well and who isn't, and we also catch up with 460 or 461-game NBL great Adam Gibson.
Former Saint Louis, Illawarra Hawks and Sydney Kings forward, and Warwick Senators NBL1 West captain Cody Ellis joins Chris Pike for this week's show and we begin by discussing the Perth Wildcats' need for a big, the Cairns Taipans struggles and then breakdown all the action from Round 12 in the NBL.
We discuss the impressive depth at Melbourne United, the momentum building at the Sydney Kings, the South East Melbourne Phoenix finding some shooting, the Tasmania JackJumpers getting even hotter, important Adelaide 36ers and struggles of New Zealand Breakers and Cairns Taipans.
Next up we deliver our votes for #TheDamo Best Defensive Player award thanks to Everlast given by Damian Martin, #TheRedhage Player of the year award given by Shawn Redhage and announce the Round 12 winner of the #TheGalen Best Team Man award.
We then catch up with two-time NBL champion Adam Gibson for his regular appearance on Hoops Heaven's #BasketballHustle. We discuss his brief return to the South East Melbourne Phoenix roster and get his thoughts on the Phoenix, the shooting of Cam Gliddon and Ryan Broekhoff, why their defence must improve and he also updates on his career taking off and even about Cody Ellis almost joining the Brisbane Bullets.
We then continue this week's show with Cody discussing his couple of potential options to extend his NBL career after leaving the Hawks before we knuckle down on the latest on and off-court happenings at the Adelaide 36ers, the coaching methods of Adam Forde with the struggling Cairns Taipans, and also the Rob Loe situation at the New Zealand Breakers before previewing Round 13 in #NBL22 and looking to the Boomers games in Japan this week.
