188: Chris Anstey on Ben Simmons, Ricky Grace at Sydney 2000 and NBL financials

Melbourne Tigers great Chris Anstey talks: Do Australian basketball fans want to hit skip on the Ben Simmons era in favour of Josh Giddey as the Boomers PG? Should the NBL have shutdown in 2009? If winning is everything in 'Boomers culture' why didn't Ricky Grace play more minutes at Sydney 2000? How to be critical in commentary without being an a**hole? Why isn't Chris commentating anymore? And what made/makes Chris' relationship with the equally jaded, at that time when they played together in Russia anyway, Paul Shirley.   Buy Chris' book 'Tall Takes - what the whiteboard never taught me' here:https://checkout.square.site/buy/M4Q56T62HE6OK4VPS5WGKMCE?fbclid=IwAR03OBhfCV90uoLxbMIUAG0ihxf4XhhP0BMmBEOWUYD5dajfFV70C6WG1Rs  Twitter: Joseph via @nblpocketpod and Chris via @ChrisAnstey13 Patreon: patreon.com/nblpocketpodcastBooktopia: https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/c/2324741/607517/9632 Join us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/nblpp  Special thanks to Nick Tan (Bryce Cotton logo) and Alex Canion (theme tune).
