It was Tuesday morning in Aotearoa, almost a week after the end of the NBA Finals and a few days before the subsequent NBA Draft with Olympic basketball also catching plenty of attention... and Adrian Wojnarowski had something to say.
What an odd season that was. Steven Adams was traded to New Orleans amidst a global pandemic and even if everything that followed eventually progressed as planned, it was all a little off. Like somebody broke into your house and didn’t take anything but moved all the furniture six inches to the left.
It hasn’t always been this way. This overflow of kiwi ballers in the Aussie league, it used to be a couple of top tier Tall Blacks plying their trade across the Tasman and then a large contingent of Breakers dudes.
