Goulding to US for NBA tryouts

No doubt if Goulding did get signed all these haters will be following his every move in the NBA.
I still think he is a bit of a douche but good luck to him.
If people dont think Ennis will make the NBA I seriously doubt goulding will. you think hes gonna be allowed to take 30+ shots in the NBA? thats the only reason he is scoring here.

Now that we have cleansed the NBL playoffs of the Tigers I feel like I can support Goulding's NBA dream.

The way I see it, any exposure Australia and the NBL can garner to help its resurgence in the mainstream is a good thing by me.

Best of luck to him.

There's two sides to the coin... I think Chris has done well to pull his head in this season and lifted above being all Gary Erviny, so he deserves a bit of slack given to him, but just because he's Australian doesn't mean that we have to get all "patriotic" and reverse tall poppy syndrome and just give him free passes for being a dick... I think it's very Australian that no matter who you are, if you're a dick, you get called out for being a dick...

I wish him the best and will be glad if another Aussie can succeed over in the US especially, but that still doesn't negate some of his tool'ish behaviour...

MACDUB, could you throw in one more generalization about Australia and/or Australians? I've got a hankering this morning!

Agree with GWB. You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Goulding is an Australian, playing in Australia. Posters on this forum always say “We need our best players playing locally”, yet when we get a stud talent like Goulding no one is grateful for it/no one can appreciate it.

What Goulding did was wrong. I am disappointed with what he did – because certainly this season, I started to see a distinct change in his maturity and professionalism. Unfortunate that what happened in the finals undid all that.

But wake up people, you literally have a guy similar to Kirk Penney playing in Australia. (Not as skilled as Penney, but much more athletic)

It is one of the fundamental things I notice about Australian sport supporters – you take your hate for a player at the provincial level way too far. I’ve had Australian Rugby League fans love watching guys like Billy Slater mess up at the Int’l level because he is a Queenslander. Really?

At the end of the day, you have an Australian player working hard and representing his country on the biggest basketball stage.

The fact that you give so much hate to a guy after your team just destroyed his team by 39 points makes you guys appear to be the tallest of tall poppys.

I've moved on from the semi final and wish him the best of luck. Hopefully a couple of ten day contracts get thrown his way and he gets some exposure outside of the NBL.

Good for Chris and it may also enhance the NBL's reputation internationally, even if just a little bit.
