I’ve got a colour TV, so I can see, the Knicks play basketball… comms guy by day but happiest next to a basketball court cheering for the London Lions.

Safe to say, I didn’t see this score line coming… seven players in double figures and a thoroughly commanding and dominant performance from the London Lions - defeating Manchester 72-108 #weareLondon

An image of a beer can in front of some basketballs. The can has an image of a shark bearing its teeth.

The Sheffield Sharks have teamed up with Peak District-based Thornbridge Brewery to come up with a Sharks IPA. 🍻

The perfect blend of hoops and hops.

When I went into new post I clicked the film tab next to the photo one. It did take a while to process, but it worked in the end! Good luck!

Going to see a Partizan game has been on my basketball bucket list for years. And boy did it not disappoint! The atmosphere was just incredible! The game had a Lions connection too - with the former team of coach Bozic taking on Zalgiris in the Euroleague.

Episode drops at 6pm GMT (I hope!).
Enjoyed this one and I hope you do too.

To be fair, it was originally scheduled in Athens. Meaning a five hour plus drive for those of us who’d booked non-refundable airline tickets… 🙄

I think performing that well with that amount of heart in such a crazy atmosphere bodes really well for us. Let’s keep everything crossed on the injury front, but have a lot of hope about this team

Lost by 10, but can hold our heads high. Lots of positives for #britishbasketball - not least how outstanding Quinn Ellis was tonight. A really talented player - looking forward to seeing much more of him in a GB shirt!

Action shot from Great Britain v Greece EuroBasket game at Copper Box in London

What a phenomenal win by Great Britain at the Copper Box tonight over Greece in the EuroBasket
Greece world ranking - 13
GB world ranking - 50

I assume it'll be all over TV, radio and the papers.....

Gutting news out of the Copper Box as it is announced JT has left the Lions to take on a new role in the US. A proper Lions legend who will be really missed #wearelondon #oncealionalwaysalion

What an absolutely brilliant result!! A short-handed London Lions showed heart to hang on for 93-97 win at a tough, tough Cheshire team. Still top of the @sprleaguebballm.bsky.social and still undefeated!!!! Massive shout out to @saintpat.bsky.social and family for making the trip up #wearelondon
