It's been a privilege to have called
@BBLofficial
games for multiple seasons now. A chance to do something I've loved, for a couple of hours, a few nights a season. The league looks to be going in a different direction, but
@PlymCityPatriot
and Raiders, thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
SCENES!... 😢🥹😢
@markedricb_15
Markedric Bell on his last game for the Pats... Mobbed by sobbing fans, all sorry to see him go. I couldn't interview him, due to the lump in my throat...
He gave his game worn sneakers to a fan... Not a dry eye in the house.
❤️🏀🔥😢🥹🙏🙏🙏
You should feel INCREDIBLY proud of your achievements this season. Responsible for the most entertaining basketball, most fun banter & for the BIGGEST UPSET IN THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE, beating the richest team in the history of British Basketball in the Trophy Final.
👏👏👏♥️
What a day yesterday. Up at 5am, 12 hour shift, rush to Pavilions... Late start, solo comms, plenty of drama and "the incident". Back home, little one had a temperature of 38.5c, call 111, sit up all night. She's fine! Phew. Back to work for 8am and another 12 hour shift...
Fuck me that was great!!
Comms sounded sad...
@CheshireNix
CONGRATULATIONS, you guys were fucking awesome.
WOOOOOOOO!
THE BIGGEST UPSET IN THE HISTORY OF THE BBL... BY A LOOOOONG WAY!

To all newcomers who have started bashing the
@BBLofficial
... Where you been??? The league is looking better now that it has for at least a decade. Things are changing and improving WEEKLY! Ffs
Well... It would appear that the gap has not been reduced at all 😞
Yea yea, it's only one game. But, (and it's a Kardashian sized but), the Glads were meant to be perhaps the closest to toppling the mighty Lions.
Depressing for BBL fans, but the rest just can't keep up 💷💰🤑
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME! 🎄
Elvisi Dusha and Jules Dang-Akodo signed the hat of the 2019 BBL Trophy Final that they won with the London City Royals! 🎅
Legends of the game! 🎁
Thank you and Merry Christmas ⛄
Hope you have a great day! ❄️

I've been a fan of

forever. Love the Chris Moyles Show on
@RadioX
podcast, which is how I consume nowadays!
News flash! He's a good guy! Tabloid press have never been kind to him, god knows why? Says more about you if you're opinion is negative towards him. LEGEND!
Finally got home from a VERY long day, but what a way to finish it off! Comms with

in perhaps the best game this season?! And perhaps the most controversial?! Certainly was an amazing spectacle...
One thing I want to see next season, are the
@NewcastleEagle
fans giving this man a 40 minute standing ovation when the
@McrGiants
come to town. Exactly like when Patrick Ewing came back to the Knicks after he was traded to Seattle. Non stop applaud, cheering, love and respect.
Going on record to say I LOVE THE NEW
@PlymCityPatriot
BRANDING. I believe makes sense to people from Plymouth. Love the colours and the logos. Good job!

@dan_routledge
You’ve given us hundreds of compliments over the years so I’ll take this ‘not so good’ comment and play the percentages! “Vilifying without facts” is an inaccurate & inappropriate take from yourself. We clearly said we were going off assumptions of what could’ve been the reason.

@BBLofficial
right now... It's certainly unlike anything I've seen in the league before.
Enjoy!
Hell of a signing!!!
Jamell is an elite defender and as such is often under used offensively, despite being a fantastic passer and deadly shooter from range, not to mention his athleticism and dunking ability.
Worrying times for
@McrGiants
fans?! 😬😰
Reading Rockets Basketball Club is thrilled to announce we have applied to join the fully professional British Basketball League (BBL). The club is hoping to be accepted and participate in next season’s 2022/23 BBL season.🚀

UTTER HORSE SHIT.
I had to listen back... Total Bollocks.
He's passionate and wears his heart on his sleeve. He gave a frustrated interview, but didn't throw anyone under the bus.
Plus I had to wait 30 mins because he was talking to the 100+ fans who waited for him post game
I’ve see some really negative comments about
@ElvisiDusha
interview with
@PabloCheeksBTR
for the
@BelowThePod
some saying he has turned on the fans but I can’t name a more fan oriented player especially for the kids he doesn’t need me to defend him I just don’t like the toxicity
Amazing...
We were very VERY lucky to have Coach Thomas on the show. A great insight to an amazing weekend for

*When two teams play shit basketball, but one team out shits the other*
"We were shit, but thank goodness we were out shitted"
1 player & coach HAS to be Byrd & Cadle.
Both essential to the BBL. TV, Radio, commentary. They tirelessly raised the awareness of the league for the 90s & early 00s, the BBLs most popular era. Oh, and they won a shit ton of silverware - From 87 they dominated until retirement.
I had a blast! Don't often get to be a guest on a show! It was great to talk

AND SOMEHOW COME AWAY WITH THE WIN!!
Amazing job

@saintpat1962
@BristolFlyers
fans, ignore the sanctimonious end of bells...
Suddenly a club he was finished with (due to them blocking him on twitter) has billions to spare, and he's all over it, like a fat kid on cake.
We should all be so lucky to have a sugar daddy and a big arena. Ffs
The flagship team could lift the title... Sacrificing a potentially good competitive game, for a blowout and title lift... Why not have the better game live and cut to the Copperbox for the title celebrations??
