It’s like Australian media haven’t heard of the Boomers. Here is the top 2 sports stories from News Corp today. Imagine if Soccer was doing what the Boomers are doing right now.

When we rescued the 36ers @AndrewGaze10 called me and offered to fly over and do a business lunch to help us raise money for the team. “ if it helps you guys raise 10 grand then that would be great because what you are trying to do is so important “ Legend.

Melbourne Cup a couple of years ago and Delta asked Corey for a photo. This was such a moment of validation for him. “ we doin it B” He re-created himself and dragged the @NBL up along the way. That was the plan all along. Hype it into existence.

Reflecting on the Boomers. Amazing that the team has grown to a level where we expect a medal rather than hope for a medal. And remember Patty was once a kid who got sent back to the G League by Portland. Now in contention for WC MVP. #GoBoomers #FIBAWC
