Luc Longley Dinner in Adelaide

Rock

Thanks for your question. Whilst the launch event is a fundraiser with auctions etc, to completely identify the amount from your ticket that will go to a "in need" player is a difficult one. There are as you would imagine significant costs in running this type of event.

Flights, accommodation,food and beverage costs, entertainment costs, printing etc. Running events to make significant profits are difficult due to the high costs associated with them. The bulk of the profit can in some cases come from the Auctions, Raffles, Sponsorships etc that take place on the night.

What I can say though is that there is complete transparency through the board of the Free Throw Foundation (who are running this event)on the costs associated with the event and the budget produced to raise significant funds on the night, which will be returned to the sport and the athletes.

Ticket sales are really strong which will go a long way to reaching our fundraising goal. Hope you can make the night.

Regards
Free Throw Foundation

Was thinking about the best players in the history of each franchise and it got me wondering, who would comprise the best all time team?

Would probably have to choose the boring one and go with the Lakers.

Magic
West
Kobe
Worthy
Wilt

Baylor
Shaq
Kareem
Scott

Or you could run with either Wilt, Kareem or Shaq at the 4. Would go with Lakers over Boston due to the lack of an all time great point gaurd. Boston with depth at the forwards though.

Others would be Philly, Houstan and Knicks

Bucks would be underrated.

Oscar Robertson
Alvin Robertson
Sidney Moncrief
Bob Lanier
Kareem

Disregarding guys who went to the teams for a season or two. Who else?
