Danum Eagles All-Star Weekend
- Comments: None
Last weekend, Danum Eagles hosted their All-Star Weekend in Doncaster, and what a magnificent event it was. Players aged from 4 to, in excess of 50 took to the floor for a spectacular display of how joyous basketball can be. Many thanks to all the legends who turned out for the All-Star game, including Charles Smith, Rob Marsden, Jason Swaine, Dirk Williams and Matthew Martin. And thanks to Bob Martin for his continued hard work in promoting the sport, and to all the fans who made it a truly wonderful event!
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.
