BAD, your sarcasm meter is broken.
Sedat full well knows that Pendlebury was a basketballer as channel 7 only says it 5 million times each time they broadcast a Collingwood game.

Tell you the truth, I don't listen to what they say.

Why you have to hurt Sedat's feelings like that?

That would make it 1,580,000,000 times it has been said in all of Pendlebury's 316 games to date. Sounds about on the money.

Jamarra has some height, is a great leap, probably a reasonable tank and looks skilled hand eye so probably would be an impactful junior basketballer - certainly he would at least be super impactful against kids his own age, even if he wasnt actually that good a player.
As long as they don't compare him to Tim Walsh we are ok - Tim had an impact on basketball games because of height and athleticism - but couldn't actually play basketball.

Scotty West attributed basketball with helping with his peripheral vision on the footy field.

I never used to rate it as a sport either but I've come around to it the last few years. It's much better than it used to be.

Can't agree with that.
Reckon in Australia it's having a renaissance but nothing tops 90's for NBL.
NBA is a basket case and is basically unwatchable IMO.

Believe Jordan Roughead and Ayce Cordy represented Vic Country in Basketball. Murphy was decent as well.

Bont's family is well known in basketball circles. Olivia is a very good basketballer in her own right, Marcus got the commitment genes in the family though
Re: How many Dogs players (and other teams' AFL players) were good at basketball?
My son is semi pro basketballer and practises a lot on open public city courts. He only tokenly follows the Dogs.
He told me he played basketball with a young guy on our list. It wasn't the name Jamarra but it sounded like him.
My son said he was an OK player.

I love seeing players from one sport play a different sport. It's like watching a dog skateboard.
I remember the clip you mean. Bont can handle a basketball.
I remember NicNat getting roped into Dunking over the MC at Half Time at a Perth Wildcats game. WC weren't happy when the video surfaced.

Lipinski's brother was a pretty reasonable player also - I imagine Pat can play a bit also
