If you don’t already listen to the very entertaining Basketball Jones podcast (now turned video) here’s a good reason to. Skeets gave some love to our own Aussie brand of football at the start of Friday’s show (Episode 362):
If you don’t believe this [the NBA] is the greatest sport in the world, there’s something wrong with you, I’m sorry. NBA Basketball – Australian Rules Football. That’s the order”
Damn straight Skeets! NBAMate fully endorses that order. Good to see some US sports fans recognize the true awesomeness of Aussie Rules football. And for more awesomeness go read my All-NBA AFL Team blog which is probably the greatest piece of NBA/AFL cross-fertilized sports writing in the history of earth.
Just for good measure here is the greatest AFL mark of all time (no Carlton bias whatsoever)…
And here’s one to add to the Richo Wall of Disapppointment (note that Richo is whining while the ball is still in play just inches away from him)…

man that nintendo cover brought back some memories. greatest game ever.
and rob, not that i want to get into an argument with you (well maybe i do) but Jezza’s mark is only considered the G.O.A.T because of context, not the actual mark
as if!! of course context plays some part, it was after all the greatest grand final of all time, the biggest crowd ever at a VFL/AFL game, the biggest grand final comeback, and the mark itself was over the opposition’s tallest player. so yeah its about context, but its a shitload of context!
Richo will win the coleman this year.
Cousins will win the brownlow.
Richmond will win the premiership.
The Bobcats will still suck.
Richo wins the coleman and i will jump off the Westgate
nah i love Richo. Tigers should make Finals with Cousins. Bobcats will still defenitely suck
