    What? Tom Abercrombie is a shooting guard. How the hell is he a Patrick Patterson clone? You didn't even click on the link or know what the hell you're talking about huh?

    It's fun to call people out on their BS.

    so, Tall Blacks is a team name? Interesting....

    Anyway, 6'6" 192lbs and will be 26 next month. He was All-NBL 3rd team this year, has won 3 NBL championships in the last 3 years, All-NBL 1st team last year, ROY in 2009, Grand Prix MVP in 2011 and an all-star in 2012. Pretty decent resume. I'd give him a shot for a few mil a year on a 2 year deal.

    The origin...and we started naming every team of our own "something + blacks".

    nothing nefarious ... just a play on the all blacks, their famous rugby team.

    Pretty sure he was being funny. Doesn't seem like you've been a member long enough to get it.

    Newley strikes me as a convenience comparison since they're from the same general area. Brad Newley never even became the 13th man on the roster.

    Besides, the logo of Brad Newley's first team may be the worst logo in world sports:

    Tall Blacks sounds racist. I can't support any player from that team.
