I’ve got a colour TV, so I can see, the Knicks play basketball… comms guy by day but happiest next to a basketball court cheering for the London Lions.
Safe to say, I didn’t see this score line coming… seven players in double figures and a thoroughly commanding and dominant performance from the London Lions - defeating Manchester 72-108 #weareLondon

The Sheffield Sharks have teamed up with Peak District-based Thornbridge Brewery to come up with a Sharks IPA. 🍻
The perfect blend of hoops and hops.

Going to see a Partizan game has been on my basketball bucket list for years. And boy did it not disappoint! The atmosphere was just incredible! The game had a Lions connection too - with the former team of coach Bozic taking on Zalgiris in the Euroleague.

Lost by 10, but can hold our heads high. Lots of positives for #britishbasketball - not least how outstanding Quinn Ellis was tonight. A really talented player - looking forward to seeing much more of him in a GB shirt!
