The British Basketball League (BBL) announces the appointment of Aaron Radin as the league’s Chief Executive Officer.

The B Braun Sharks are very proud to announce the signing of Jordan Ratinho for the upcoming 2021-22 BBL season.

British Basketball, at its top flight, has been around for a number of decades now. There have been some great players and Coaches in that time. In this new feature we will try and publish some of those great match-ups. Some of these names are truly legendary!

Former Sharks junior, Nathaniel Montgomery, is all set for a fifth year as a Shark. 5’10 guard enjoyed a breakout season as he became part of the four- man guard rotation during the 2022-2023 campaign.

Vince Macaulay has continued to add to his new-look Giants squad with the addition of guard Corey Johnson.

The B. Braun Sheffield Sharks wish to announce the retirement of their long-serving Captain, Mike Tuck.

This is one of my favourite features on mikeshaft.com. At the start of each year we high-light a number of people to pay tribute to. These are usually individuals or teams from back in the day and others who are active in the sport today. This is the Master list of people who make Basketball ‘The Joy That It Is’.

Last night, The Toronto Raptors won their 1st ever NBA Title under the tutelage of Nick Nurse. Nick is a legend of the British game having coached and played for Derby, and coached and won trophies at Birmingham, Manchester, Brighton and London Towers. Nine years ago he was assistant coach to Chris Finch of the GB Senior Men's team. I had the great pleasure of interviewing him for mikeshaft.com. In this interview I asked him about the possibility of coaching in the NBA. This interview was carried out in 2010 and was first published in December of 2014.

As you may know, I am attempting to publish a master list of past and present BBL players. I fully realize that this list will never be complete and names will be added as I am made aware of them. The fact that someone's name isn't as yet on the list does not mean that they are less important than anyone else.

Four letters N,O,P & Q make up the next page in our quest to document the all time BBL players in the UK. The fact that someone’s name isn’t as yet on the list does not mean that they are less important than anyone else.
