YEAH! This week’s NBA Straya welcomes in viral social media legend, Parliament-speech giver, hoophead and all-round great bloke, Tim Watts MP!
That’s right – the Australian Member of Parliament for Gellibrand is on the show to talk all things basketball, including how he fell in love with the game, his favorite all-time NBA teams and players, as well as his tips for the upcoming season…
Plus we get a little bit of insight into the trash-talk-fueled Australian Parliament House basketball pickup games!
In an awesome chat, we also cover off with Tim:
- the reaction to his famous speech in Australian Parliament about Ben Simmons and Joe Ingles
- how the Aussies in the NBA are emblematic of modern Australia
- his favorite NBA player
- favourite all-time NBA team
- who his style of play is modeled after
- the ONE all-time NBA jersey he’d own
- the fascinating role of social media in politics
- who the best parliamentary trash-talker is
… and loads more
PLUS! We announce our coverage of this week’s NBLxNBA game in Philly, talk about potential Jimmy Butler landing places, and how weird Kawhi Leonard is!
Get around it – it’s a super-fun episode.
