It’s been a while since the last Six Pack, mostly due to my USA travels, but with a lot happening in the world of basketball both abroad and at home, I thought it was about time to crack open a few.
ONE: The state of NBL basketball continues to be in turmoil. Several people (including current [...]

In sad news for Aussie NBA Fans, Andrew Bogut has been shut down for the rest of the season because of his back injury. Not that I didn’t see it coming - there’s really no point in rushing AB back when the Bucks have fallen out of the playoff race. But for selfish reasons I’m [...]

ONE: It was reported earlier in the week that Andrew Bogut is beginning his transition from complete rest to basketball-related activities, which is good news for the Bucks. Also written earlier in the week was this great piece on the Bucks website about Bogut and Coach Skiles - truly worth your reading. Quote from Bogut: [...]

ONE: Catch up on what Andrew Bogut did during the All-Star weekend over at his blog, including the reason he wore this ridiculous suit. On a serious note, Bogut talks about his injury: “My back is still the same. Some good days, some bad. Just when you think it’s starting to feel better, you will [...]

ONE: Andrew Bogut opens up in his latest blog about his back injury, and his annoyance at an Australian journalist for blowing his alias (I won’t tell you what his alias is but it’s quite amusing). Some highlights from Andrew’s blog:
On Monday morning I had a bone scan and a CAT scan. I had dye [...]

Bad news for the big Aussie today. After going through a series of tests and workouts this week it appears Bogut needs the time to rest and heal the stress fracture in his back. This throws the Bucks playoff hopes into disarray - he is just as important to the Bucks as Andrew Bynum is [...]

ONE: Andrew Bynum, who has been playing out of his mind recently, has gone down with a knee injury, against the Memphis Grizzlies, and had to be carried off the court. Deja vu anyone? Of course, the exact same thing happened last year, and we all know what ensued. The Lakers still ended up #1 [...]

The NBA has become a truly international sport. Last season there were 75 non-US players on NBA rosters, many of them amongst the league’s elite: Yao, Dirk, Nash, Ginobili and Parker to name a few. When you talk about the Australian contingent most people probably think of Andrew Bogut, and maybe hold vague memories of [...]

It’s been a while since I checked in on the big Aussie. The last time I spoke of the Bucks they won five of their last six games and looked to be cementing a spot in the East’s upper half. Since then they have struggled to put two straight wins together - they’ve actually gone [...]

Every year in late December there is a little known Beer Award that is handed out to the most outstanding beer of the year. Very few people have heard of this award and that is because it is my own self-awarded Beer of the Year (BOTY). But don’t let that fool you. It is perhaps [...]
