BJ Anthony cut by Breakers

It's awesome that Anthony is so shit that you have to defend Jawai's performance against him.
NBA Player Vs Fat Kid who can't play

The coolest story about all of this was the result

Most of the media reports I can find have quoted Lemanis as saying that it is just a result of having Vukona/Boucher playing that spot and not enough minutes to go round which rings true as they took the title without Anthony. He has also not ruled out him returning in the future as Boucher should be due to retire in the next season or so.
NZ will be needing a back up Centre for Pledger, wonder if Wilkinson may take that or if they have someone else in mind (NZBL guy/Import?)

Anon^, watch the game again lol. Sure Jawai got some numbers but so he should have.
He was essentially an NBA player going up against a fat lazy kid from Aucklands North Shore who can hoop cos his dad was a New Zealand National League Import.
That fat kid scored some nice buckets on Jawai and the Boomers lost.
Anthony has always been on the outer of BBall NZ as his attitude towards training and diet have never been up to scratch. It looked like he may have turned a corner at the New Zealand Breakers but as Macdub said, a drink driving offense coupled with a player imposed ban from the team for turning up hungover may have been the final straw. Leaves NZ short on size to back up Pledger at C and even Vukona at PF.
Might see Gary Wilkinson hang around now? Maybe Truman back in the mix? Would love to see Rob Loe at the Breakers after St Louis

Would probably not get an NBL gig.

But he does have a solid skill set, had 19 points against China at 4 nations, and could flourish in an ideal setting.

I think it is more his mindset towards the professional side of Basketball.
Remember earlier this year he had that discretion where he turned up to training visibly hungover.

Then you had the Drink Driving Charge and add in his general laziness towards conditioning
