Are there any Sixers who could take DPOTY? They've got COTY, MIP, MVP and ROTY in the bag, I'd say, with Creek and Clarke fighting over 6MOTY.

Rotnei and daylight for 6MOTY

MVP: Randle
COTY: Tank
Fans': Ware
ROTY: Drmic
Team: Randle, Clarke, Prather, Kickett, DJ
DPOTY: Whittington
MIP: Sobey


6th Man is tough to pick, are there stats anywhere of how many starts they got?

I'll take a punt, and say: Powell

If it wasn't due to a lack of games played I'd be slotting Boone right up there with Rotnei Clarke for 6MOY

Rotnei Clarke has to win 6th man award with Creek missing about 10 games during the year.

Flog of the year Gleeson>>>>>daylight

There was just a message on the screen then that said the awards night is starting soon.

Is this on NBL.tv?

Is it being streamed right now? On the NBL TV stream it's just a constant loop of ads with a graphic popping up from time to time saying the awards night is starting soon. It was meant to have started 15 min ago.

Finally we're in business

Matt Russell & Neroli Meadows hosting

Don't applaud Kickert it will only encourage him

Vlade Divac stunt double

6 million viewers in China this season

Sound is out of sync

Highest attendance in NBL history, viewership on Fox up 20% on last season, crowds up on last season.

Cedric Jackson leading the way after Round 4, I'm going to shift some funds onto him bit of a smokey I reckon.

Ref of the year: Vaughan Mayberry

6 million viewers in China!

Loeglier(?) did make a big point of the record crowds this season saying people often think the NBL had it's biggest crowds in the late 80's-early 90's but not anymore something like 665,000 people this season.

KET,

He said that 6 million viewers in China was without $1 of advertising all they did was flick the switch and haven't even started advertising in China yet.

Randle one vote ahead of Prather after 9 rounds.

Rookie of the year: Anthony Drmic

Phenomenal stuff, it will be interesting to see how they progress and take advantage of that over the next few years.

Congrats to Drmic!

Also enjoying Matt Russell and Neroli Meadows

Made up names are >>>>>daylight ahead of anons who are incapable of even making up a name.

Better now?

I have such a flog of a name :(

How much was Drmic contract?

$17k for what?

Sorry ADL but that was lame having Creek, Randle, Sobey and Joey on stage to collect Drmic's award.

Is this on nbl.tv?

My sound isnt in sync, anyone got the same issue?

For someone who came into the league as a gun shooter, that part of his game has been disappointing (but has been improving). But there's other facets of his game that are really well above expectations. He's an amazing rebounder for his height/position and his defense is also very good for his age and experience level.
He still struggles at home more than away, which could be a mental thing, but he will work through that. Should have a solid future here.

$7.5 for fornula 1 hot seat.

My NBL TV feed appears in sync...

This auction segment is killing the broadcast..

$7.5k for cooking lessons

I'm watching on NBL.TV, sound is synced fine for me. I'm watching on laptop though.
Great quality.

Stephen Jackson and Jordan Mcrae have also won NBA championships after playing in the nbl. And Josh Powell came to the nbl after winning 2 titles.

I wouldn't be paying those prices for those items. NBL must be crazy.

"Wildcats already bought the package for their home cooking to continute into next season."

Silent bid by Nick Marvin? ;)

They should have a silent auction where each seat has a tablet they can push a button to increase the item by 500 a pop. Then they can silently bid on multiple items at once. The big screen on stage can show the top bid for each item with a countdown clock.

Randle 104, Prather 82 after 14 rounds.

6th man of the year: Rotnei Clarke

Well deserved Clarke!

Huh? You either qualify or not as 6th man. What you did or did not achieve previously is irrelevant.

Huh? You either qualify or not as 6th man. What you did or did not achieve previously is irrelevant.

No problems with Clarke winning the award but considering he is averaging the most minutes for the Hawks he isn't what I would consider a 6th man. Players like Wagataff Rhys Martin, Coneraad or Creek would be more of a player that fits the description of a 6th man. Not saying any of those players should of got the award but Rotnei is more of a star coming of the bench.

This is some break have they forgotten they're streaming or something.

Agree somewhat as it is probably a first that the teams best player has come off the bench regularly.

Great 6th men have normally been one of the better players but no the best.

I thought they were just popping outside for a smoke, this has been about 20 minutes now.

Is this like lunch at the cricket?

As I said I somewhat agree because it is a first as far as I can remember.

Can anyone give an example of a teams best player being 6th man?

The closest I can come is Kevin McHale who was probably the 2nd best player on the Celtics behind Larry Bird.

This is bullshit, 30 minute break they same bloody ads.

@anon Auctions were for charity - not sure where but the items being auctioned included a trip to Vegas, Hot lap and Grand Prix tickets, dinner with George from Masterchef.

I imagine the long break is for dinner being served and social interactions - it is a Awards dinner - granted they could of pre recorded some more interviews, shown highlights or even shown some of the "In their own words" segments.

I guess it's clear they didn't organise the format around the broadcast

lol still waiting, nothing on social media explaining anything either

Top 10 blocks, finally something

Drmic ROY called it baby!

No one claps redhage lol

Is Kestelman about to award himself the Larry Kestelman Award for brilliance in the field of Kestelmanology?

Defensive player of the year: Torrey Craig

"Wouldn't have a league without him. He does deserve an award imo"

Yeah I was only being silly LK's done a brilliant job

Great news Craig intends to naturalise.

Most Improved player of the year: Nathan Sobey

All-NBL Second Team

Lisch
Sobey
Newley
Craig
Kickert

First team

Randle
Ware
Prather
Johnson
Ogilvy

Probably means Randle and Johnson make 1st team :)

Was pretty close for my first 2 teams. Just had to switch Sobey and Ware

Fans MVP: Jerome Randle

They had to choose a Centre. Which, they don't consider DJ to be one (even though he's played basically his entire career there), so it was either Ogilvy or Kickert. Which, I'd go with Kickert from those 2, but it's pretty debatable that Kickert is actually a C (if DJ isn't one).

Shhhhhhhhhh

It's their eastern state pronouciation.

Gleeson is a shoe in for flog of the year though ;)

The more things we win tonight, the bigger a choke it will be if we don't end up winning the Championship.
Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Congrats to Randle, such a privelage to have him here in the NBL. So fun to watch!!

MVP MVP MVP

Love you Jerome <3

Randle - 143 votes
Casey Prather - 107
Kevin Lisch - 82
Rotnei Clarke - 76
Casper Ware - 74

I thought he'd win it, but didn't think it would be that comfortable. Thought Sobey and DJ would steal a few votes off him.

I thought Randle would win easily.

Got all the awards correct and only one guy out on each of the All NBL teams. Stoked!

Ware would have given Randle a run for his money if he was here for the whole season, but doubt there has been a more clear cut winner since Gaze? Chris Williams maybe?

First ever unanimous Sixers MVP winner. (Davis won jointly with Leroy in 1987)

Congrats Randle.

"4 teams that won't be.. Perth didn't even attend"

No undesirables policy at the door? ;)

36ers would be stoked with almost sweeping the awards

ROY: Drmic
MIP: Sobey
Fans MVP: Randle
COY: Wright
MVP: Randle
All NBL 2nd Team: Sobey
All NBL 1st Team: Randle, Johnson
Assist of the year: Randle
Dunk of the year: Randle

All the awards went as planned - Clarke as 6th man, Craig as defensive player expected and deserved as well

WTF how did Sobey make the 2nd Allstar team in front of Rotnei Clarke.I hope Rotnei is pe'd off and shows this thursday he is much better than Sobey.

Randle dunk of the year?

I think he meant Ferguson.

Craig deserved a spot in the 1st team. Not sure how he landed outside the top 8 in the MVP voting, I would have picked him third behind Randle and Prather.

Yes, apologies to Ferguson - I just got so used to typing "Randle"

Although, I would like to see him dunk in a game...

They had to choose a Centre.

Which one, Brisbane game or the recent mauling of Melbourne's b team?

I thought Craig, Prather or Whittington threw down some better dunks then either of those two from Ferguson.

They stated the criteria for the all star 5's as 3 outside player and 2 inside players - so potentially they team could of been 3 PGs and 2 Power Forwards. There was no rule to have a Centre.

I would presume it'll be available in NBL TV's VOD section sometime in 2022.

Yep hosting was like watching the headmaster and his deputy trying to be cool at a kids assembly. Speeches were okay but weird questions like about Jerome being the shortest guy in the league and Randle was prob thinking why didn't he say I'm black too.. Very obvious the teleprompter and presenters have depth of basketball knowledge issues and no idea of the culture
