Last week I attended an open training session for the Australian Men's Basketball Team , "The Boomers". Their immediate goal was to prepare for the Borislav Stankovic Cup, in Haining & Guanghou, China, the following week. (At the time of writng, the Boomers have qualified for the final after beating China in their final round match.) Here are some photos from the training session:
