Behind the player....

I think it would be fun to find out what people do outside of playing ball. When you mostly just see people on the court or out on the weekend its easy to forget we all have jobs too...

Did you know (for example) that Brigid Bowley is a tour guide at Monarto Zoo (and can take you to feed the lions)?

Or perhaps that Doug MacDonald-Taylor gives the most brutal (but best) massage around...

And that it only takes one Damien Scanlon to change a lightbulb (cos he's an electrician with his own business).

Also, I think it would be useful to start a bit of a business directory of people in basketball...I know that if I need a haircut or a plumber I'd rather give my money to someone who needed it to buy ankle tape or pay for physio...

Can I get this right are you suggesting that these players do it in response to this thread? Or is it just a random idea?

Yeah I was just throwing it out there actually, hoping to elict responses from players themselves, or people that want to tell us about someone they know in their team etc...

But I guess if the response was strong enough Isaac might be able to compile a simple directory - sort of a truelocal type idea.

And yes I know he's busy but this webpage has forged an identity for him and generated business...now we all know a genuine IT guy and it would be great to know what else people do so we can support each other.

Now lets all hold hands and sing Kumbayah...hehe

I'm happy to put up a page here where we can compile a directory.

I'm an architect with a good inside game. I usually take the oppositions best player, I'm not the greatest foul shooter but I get to the line plenty.

That explains some of Scanlon's electrifying shooting performances this season.
