Grant Kruger?

The Sixers signing Charles Thomas

Kermit Washington and Rudy Tomjanovich. A broken cheekbone from the ugliest incident to then in the NBA.

The Sixers and Victoria Giants melee the other year wasn't good.

John Stockton's shorts in the late 1990s were bad. Move with the times, Stock!

And finally, David Spear's beard from the mid to late 1980s. It was bad then, and still makes the all-time list!

Anything involving Marcus Wright.

Marcus Wright? Let's not get defamatory here. I was going to say something about Lester Fonville's offensive arsenal, or Kent Lockhart's willingness to play defense ..... but I decided not to.

Find anyone in basketball to say something positive about Marcus Wright, and I'll take it back. ;)

Hey Moses what about Lester's offensive arsenal??

The worst NBL incident was a few years ago, here at The Powerhouse (as it was back then).

WE were playing the Kings, back in their "choker" days, and I think they managed to beat us.

There had been a few minor skirmishes during the game, with Rees, Cattalini, Heal and Nielsen being the main catalysts (when Neilsen was that very young hot head he was known for).

The marketing department had wisely got all these little computer shaped stress balls, which went into the corwd during the game. End of the game, Nielsen was pelted with a few of the balls, and he promptly retalitaed with a nice little finger gesture.

Also, probably the incident with Melbourne owner Seamus McPeake, and the FOX camera, and the finger to the cheersquad a few years back is probably a note worthy one.

Lester's offensive arsenal? If the guy had moves, he would've made it to the NBA. Top bloke to hang with, and a wicked dunk and blocking ability, but sadly that was it. Was sad he never played NBL - the guy had it "going on"!

Remember a game that Lester played at Athol Park v Woodville. Cant be exactly sure of the numbers but they were something like 43 pts 28 RB 12 assists and 14 blocks.

You are right when you say it is a shame he never made the NBA. His attitude sucked most nights but in that one game he showed how much talent he wasted.

Becuase he was not to good upstairs his manager made off with all his money from his signing with Portland.

letting bradke and wheeler go and the signing of paul rogers he did sweet FA for us

When the 36ers had the male cheerleader!

Len Bias, gets drafted, dies that night overdosing on coke.

While we're on to Len Bias, Hank Gathers' incident was tragic. Died of a heartattack during a game, expected to be a big-time pro the next year. Had an irregular heartbeat.

So too Reggie Lewis.

Bobby Hurley's car accident before he made a mark in the NBA.

But the worst moment would have to be the Pistons V Pacers fight....global impact for the sport.

Speaking of that brawl, Stephen Jackson made his return to the NBA today -- 17 points and 5 rebounds.

Apparently Ron Artest has returned to training with the team also.

Drazen Petrovic's car accident was tragic too. I still think he is the best European to ever play in the NBA. He opened the door to the NBA for some many European players.

Drazin Petrovic's car crash!

Malik Sealy's car prang was pretty bad as well. It messed up KG for awhile......

2004 NBA Dunk Comp was a tragic event as well.......

Watched a bootleg copy of Petrovic scoring 60 in the Euro Champions league final for Real Madrid. Ridiculous

On a more local, and much(?) less tragic note, I can still see the guy who snapped his patella tendon when shooting from half way to win the car whilst wearing dress shoes....

Ouch....

Worst basketball moment - I give my season ticket to my sister's boyfriend for the night, my seat gets picked for the half time shot-for-car.

He played for the then Southern Districts. Of course he can't shoot. Wastes chance with an airball.

I'm still receiving counselling

Let me gues doc - your shot would have been a sky hook?

Damn straight.

"No, no. That's Ghana. You my friend, are shooting for the Sudan!"

Billy Hoyle style.

We have ourselves a winner!

Cheezeburgervaluemeal, I'm not sure how a stadium and it's function can be referred to as a 'basketball moment'.

Bloody Frustrated with all those pampered american lover boys in the NBA who think they own the world.

Apart from a select few (G.Hill one of them) most are spoiled brats who i wish could have a week in the real world!

Whew! I feel much better now

fix the stadium up doctor

when petrovic scored 112 points in a croatian league game. he was 40 of 60 from the field. he is and always will be my idol. i personally think he was the best.rest in peace
