From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #571 of the NLSC Podcast!
What are some of the biggest What Ifs in the history of the NBA? This week, we join the community in reflecting on what might have been, from the tragedy of Len Bias to the various injuries, trades, and Draft picks that shaped the fortunes of teams and players alike. This includes some of the NBA Finals matchups and results that could’ve come to pass if not for a couple of plays going another way, or indeed, a certain all-time great retiring in 1993! We also discuss a couple of other interesting notes about the 1986 Draft, and some of the international players who could’ve had a better run in the NBA if the opportunity was there for them when they were in their prime.

Heal me!
What a player Shane was.
Absolute lights out shooter! Wish he and Andrew Gaze got more of a run in the NBA, but it was also special that they anchored the NBL here, and represented Australia in international competition for so many years.
My uncle and cousins grew up in Australia and the names I’d always here about were Shane Heal and Andrew Gaze
No surprise, definitely two of our biggest legends!
