NBA Straya w/ guest, David Andersen!
YEAH! We have an amazing guest on this week’s show: NBA player, 4x Olympian, 13x global champion, the Aussie Bill Russell himself… David Andersen!
Dave swings by the show to talk about the 13 rings to his name, his time in the NBA playing with Chris Paul and learning from Yao Ming, what it’s like to go to FOUR different Olympics and how confident he is about the current state of Australian basketball.
We smash through a mess of great stuff with Dave, including:
- playing in the NBA, and how he’d be suited to today’s game
- whether he can name all the teams he won 13 rings with
- how many languages he speaks after playing in so many countries
- why the Frankston Blues keep pumping out NBA players (him and Ryan Broekhoff)
- playing in FOUR Olympics
- moving back to Australia and finally getting that elusive NBL title last year
- what it’s like returning to the franchise he started his career with – the Illawarra Hawks – 20 years later
- what the secret is to being such a consistent winner
… and a whole bunch more
It’s a great, wide-ranging chat with one of ‘Straya’s greatest champions!
So give it a smash!
Cheers for listening to another episode of NBA Straya!
