Melbourne Tigers t-shirts



Gather round and let me tell you about a time when the league was booming, so much so, NBL players were household names!

Back in the 90’s when the league was booming, one of the teams to beat was the Melbourne Tigers who took out their first championship in ’93 and then won it again in ’97. Lindsay Gaze prowled the sidelines while his son Andrew was the superstar. He wasn’t alone as he was joined by two of the legends of the league, Lanard Copeland and Mark Bradtke.

Fast forward to the 2000’s when the big three had moved on, a new superstar emerged for the Tigers in the form of Chris Anstey who returned from several years in Europe. Anstey dominated the league helping Melbourne to another two titles in ’06 and ’08.    

As you can see from the pic below, we’ve come up with two different styles for this team, based on the team’s classic uniforms from back in the day.

South East Melbourne Magic t-shirts



Gather round and let me tell you about a time when the NBL was booming! So much so, at one time there were five Victorian teams in the league!

The South East Melbourne Magic were formed in 1992 as the result of a merger between the South Melbourne Saints and the Eastside Spectres. The team’s home venue was the Rod Laver Arena which it shared with cross-town rivals the Melbourne Tigers and drew an NBL record 15,366 fans to a game between the two clubs in 1996.

Despite the Magic being successful on-court during its tenure in the league, making four Grand Final appearances and winning championships in 1992 and 1996, the club once again merged with a cross-town rival, the North Melbourne Giants for the 1998/99 season, forming the Victoria Titans.

Representing the Magic in our “Legends” series are Bruce Bolden, Tony Ronaldson, Sam Mackinnon, Darren Lucas, Mike Kelly and Rob Rose.

South East Melbourne fans, its time to represent and show your support for your once great team. Like, share and shop!

Bruce Bolden's new role

Came across this press release that a friend shared on Facebook earlier about one of our West Sydney Razorbacks legends, Bruce Bolden.

The Basketball Factory

All Sorts is excited to announce the appointment of NBL star, Bruce Bolden as Basketball Manager at their brand new facility, The Basketball Factory.

American-born Bolden, who enjoyed an illustrious career spanning 17 seasons in the Australian National Basketball League, is thrilled to be launching the venue aimed at providing kids with an opportunity to learn the game and become a part of the basketball community.

"I've met so many amazing people throughout my basketball career and I am looking forward to sharing my passion for the game with the local community. I'd like to welcome kids of all levels, the upcoming stars who dream of a professional basketball career and those who enjoy the game for fun and social competition. The Basketball Factory is for everyone."
Bruce Bolden


Bolden has a wealth of experience, skills and knowledge to pass on to young basketballers after playing and coaching in the NBL. More recently, Bolden has enjoyed providing private one to one coaching which has led him to taking up the opportunity to offer something back to the wider basketball community here in Sydney.

All Sorts Gym and Indoor Sports now boasts a huge footprint of more than 10,000 square metres in Alexandria and has become a power house when it comes to the provision of fitness and sporting activity in Southern Sydney.

Since launching the indoor sports centre, which features top-quality basketball facilities, the court bookings have been over taken by school groups and other sports such as Futsal, leaving basketball lagging behind. The management have a keen desire to see basketball grow and so they seized the opportunity to convert the vast space of the old heritage 'Zeppelin' shed, that was originally built in the 1930s by Commonwealth Gases for construction of Dirigibles (Zeppelins/Airships), into a brand new basketball venue! With super high ceilings and walls decorated by local street artists and youth community groups, The Basketball Factory needs to be seen to be believed.
