Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special guest Daniel Powell - A unique basketball journey | S2 EP14
Q: Can you talk about how the Tupu League helped your basketball journey and whether it could or should be revived?
Powell explains that the Tupu League was a valuable platform for exposure, offering competitive play and a pathway for local players to be noticed by NZNBL teams. He believes a version of it could be revived with clearer eligibility rules to preserve its role as a stepping stone for players who aren't in the top pro leagues.
Special Guest Jonathan Yim - The unfinihsed business in the deep south | S2 EP29
Q: There was talk about re-signing players like Caleb and Keelan. What did the process look like, and why was it important for the team's continuity?
We believed in continuity and the value of what we built; several players even took pay cuts to help us bring everyone back, underscoring a shared commitment to pursuing a championship and maintaining team culture.
Special Guest Jonathan Yim - The unfinihsed business in the deep south | S2 EP29
Q: Caleb Asbury had a massive game, 29 points and seven assists. What kind of impact does he have, especially going into a third season with the Sharks?
Caleb is a cornerstone; he's willing to sacrifice for the team, taking on multiple roles—facilitating, scoring, and defending—so the team can win. His leadership and versatility have been crucial to our depth and success.
Special Guest Jonathan Yim - The unfinihsed business in the deep south | S2 EP29
Q: Jonathan, thank you so much for jumping on this morning. A massive win for the Sharks last night in front of the loyal fans at the Shark Tank. How did it feel to get a win like that over the five?
It felt great to see the team execute with depth and balance, especially with Brayden, Keelin, and Caleb Asbury back in the fold. The win reflected our growing belief and the way our roles are taking shape.
Special Guest Alex McNaught - Playing for your childhood team! | S2 EP 25
Q: What was it like joining the Breakers and the changes you saw under the new ownership and coaching staff?
Joining the Breakers on an amateur contract was unexpected but transformative. The year exposed me to top-level competition and a rapid learning curve under Modi, and the ownership change brought new structure and potential for future success, which gave me confidence in the franchise's trajectory.
