Number 1 National Basketball Association (NBA) Draft, Championships, Olympics, injuries, and the National Basketball League (NBL), Hoops Capital co-owner Andrew Bogut spoke with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Sport’s Daniela Intili reflecting on his career and the future of basketball in Australia.   In part two, they discuss the rapid uptake in participation of basketball in Australia with Bogut saying there are more players than there are courts and that investment and infrastructure need to keep up.   #Basketball #Sport #Sydney

Hoops Capital are thrilled to continue our tradition of partnering with The Salvation Army Australia as the Sydney Kings take on the Illawarra Hawks Hawks on Christmas night 🎄⭐🏀   “The Salvation Army works tirelessly to bring people together over the festive season – we strive to use basketball as a way to connect these communities and celebrate Christmas in an exciting and enjoyable way.” Matthew Denholm said, whose club sponsors will donate money for every three-pointer hit by the Kings to the Christmas Appeal.    During this year’s Christmas night event at Qudos Bank Arena, there will be fundraising initiatives with the generous support from Kmart Australia Limited, Harvey Norman and Beyond Bank Australia donated to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal.     The Salvation Army, which recently launched its 2024 Christmas Appeal, is aiming to raise $27 million to support the Australian community who are doing it tough during the festive season.  Illawarra Hawks Basketball   #TakeTheThrone #Christmas #Basketball

The Pink Hoops round will see our players wear their special pink jerseys to help raise funds for the McGrath Foundation and raise awareness about women’s health and breast cancer.   Now in its third year, the Pink Hoops initiative is the brainchild of Flame #212 and current Sydney assistant coach Tiana Mangakahia, who retired in 2023 due to her ongoing battle with breast cancer.   “I am so thankful to be a part of something so important to many women and men out there and grateful to be an advocate for breast cancer and the McGrath Foundation,” said Mangakahia.   To prepare for the January 19 double-header, the Flames recently held a breast health understanding session at Auburn PCYC NSW with the McGrath Foundation’s Ambassador Tracy Bevan, and McGrath Breast Care Nurses, Melissa Grady and Peta Brydon.   https://lnkd.in/g2sJ5mhx   #BringTheHeat #PinkHoops #WomensHealth
