Gather round and let me tell you about a time when the NBL was booming! So much so, there were some cities that had more than one team!! Yes, it’s true!
For basketball fans in Melbourne, they once had a choice of teams to support. (Side note: after a bit of research, I found out that there was a time when there were 5 Victorian teams in the league at once!)
Back in the 80’s, despite the legendary father and son combination of Andrew & Lindsay Gaze, the Tigers weren’t a winning franchise. The team to beat on court were the North Melbourne Giants.
The Giants won the championship in ’89 and again in ’94 as well as making the grand final series on two other occasions. They would later merge with the South East Melbourne Magic and continued their winning ways on court before eventually folding in 2004.
Hate the Tigers? No problem, we’ve got you covered with our tribute to the once great North Melbourne Giants. Representing them in our “Legends” series is the starting five of Darryl McDonald, Chris Jent, Paul Maley, Scott Fisher and Paul Rees.
Melbourne, its time to represent, show your support for our game, and remind everyone that your town is not just about AFL! Like, share, shop and represent!
