Australia’s position as an emerging world basketball power will be on show when a record eight players headed by Andrew Bogut, Matthew Dellavedova and Patty Mills suit up for NBA teams this season.
LeBron James supports to athletes who have chosen to protest racial inequality during performances of the US national anthem but the NBA’s most famous player has no plans to follow in their footsteps.
Australia’s Matthew Dellavedova had to watch from the bench as his Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship, becoming the first team ever to come back from 3-1 down in the Finals series.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have shot down the Golden State Warriors to force a winner-take-all game seven for the NBA title.
