Calvin Talford - Hobart Devils

Today our feature Hobart Devils player is 1992 college dunk champ Calvin Talford.

Calvin Talford is the Chris Jent of the Hobart Devils in that he played just one season in the NBL (’94). He shares the record for most points in a debut scoring 50... points against the Brisbane Bullets (I was at that game and was blown away by the show he put on). He was one of the most exciting players in the league and averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and shot over 52% from the field.

Hobart Tassie Devils t-shirts

Gather round and let me tell you about a time when the NBL was booming and there was a team in almost every capital city … including Hobart!

This one is for the “veterans” amongst us as Tasmania hasn’t had a team in the league since 1996....

Back in the day, there was a time when the Hobart Tassie Devils attracted some great names from the US. Yes, I’m not quite sure how they did it either?!

Don’t believe it? Well representing the Devils in our “Legends” series are Steve Carfino, Wayne McDaniel, Jumpin’ Joe Hurst, Eric Bailey, Calvin Talford and Paul Stanley.

Tasmania, its time to represent, show your support for our game. Like, share and shop!
