22 year-old 🇦🇺 Lachlan Olbrich records his first career triple-double in the NBA in just his 37th career game. 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 points for Chicago at Dallas. That compares well against some of the greatest centres in NBA history and their first career T/D. #NBL26

The SEN family is deeply saddened by the passing of Tim Barrow. Host of our Saturday morning shows for many years and a respected journalist with the Illawarra Mercury. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. RIP Tim

The House that Paul Smith built. A huge share of the NBL’s growth in recent years traces directly to the ascent of the Sydney Kings in Australia’s largest & most unforgiving market, NSW. A striking reminder of the importance of competent & visionary team ownership. #NBL26

The Hawks have beaten the 36ers by 1-point in Wollongong. The last time that happened was the 2001 semi final - 25 years ago - thanks to Damon Lowery's famous free-throws. #NBL26

The Back Page has been an institution at Fox Sports - a wonderfully fun show put together by people who love sport but who also love the craft of television. The heartbeat of the Back Page were host Tony Squires and producer Matt Parslow. To both of you, very well played.

“Welcome to Candlestick Park. Today’s game is brought to you by cigarettes, beer, and gasoline. Also, please stop throwing fireworks on the goddamn field or we’ll have to forfeit. Thank you.”
