An Interview with Nick Elam (of Elam Ending Fame) 🏀

My friend Joe and I had the opportunity to interview Nick Elam, who is the creator of basketball’s Elam Ending, for the NBL Pocket Podcast.

We are on a mission to bring the Elam Ending to the Australian NBL.

Having the opportunity to speak with Nick was a genuine honour. If you like basketball, I think you will like this podcast.


I do a weekly Australian National Basketball League (NBL) podcast, NBL Pocket Podcast. Today’s episode is out and I think it’s a particularly fun one. 🏀 🎙


It was fun to do another commentary of an NBL game on Twitch tonight. Cairns Taipans hosted Melbourne United. 🏀


I had a heap of fun doing commentary on tonight’s NBL game on Twitch. Provides a reminder as to how well professionals can avoid dead air. Not easy to maintain constant dialogue! 🏀 🎙


I’m doing a Twitch commentary live stream of the first NBL game of the season today. Partnering with my podcast friend, Joe Corr, this is the first attempt at live-streaming by the NBL Pocket Podcast empire. 🏀


The latest episode of The NBL Pocket Podcast is live. If you want an update on the past week of Australian basketball, this is the podcast to listen you want. 🏀🎙


Very little happening in the NBL this week, but we still managed to talk for an hour about it. That’s true passion! The NBL Pocket Podcast / Brett Brown, John Mooney nicknames and Draymond Green’s tweets 🏀 🎙


If you’d like to hear me and a mate talk about NBL basketball 🏀 and team composition leading into the new season, then listen to NBL Pocket Podcast 🎙


Recapping the best day yet of the TBT. 🏀 NBL Pocket Podcast


I’m having so much fun recording a daily TBT basketball 🏀 wrap on The NBL Pocket Podcast. I’ve missed hoops, so watching games daily then talking about them is a salve for the soul. Give it a listen!


So great to talk TBT basketball 🏀 from an Australian perspective. Listen to the NBL Pocket Podcast for the full rundown.🎙


I got out and shot some basketball hoops today; first time in months. I loved it. Playing basketball is the physical activity that feels perfectly natural to me. My body knows exactly what to do. There’s nothing else like it. 🏀


Great to have Miles Plumlee in a Perth Wildcats uniform. It’s a pipe dream, but it would be great to get him back for a full season next year. 🏀


The Australia v Spain 🏀 game was epic. Double overtime. Aussies with one day less rest combined with some interesting refereeing did them in. So no gold or silver medal on this journey, but they can still make history by winning a bronze.


The USA v Turkey 🏀 was bonkers. Turkey missed their opportunities and the US can breathe a sign of relief. Previously, the Brazil v Greece game was almost as good. My Boomers won ugly, with thanks to Joe Ingles.


Living my best life. 🏀📺🏀📺🏀📺


Just one day until the basketball 🏀 World Cup commences. I’m excited! Two weeks of my favourite sport. I want the Aussies to do well, but I’ll happily watch any two nations play at any time.


Oh my! The Australian Boomers beat the USA! 🏀


Fun game of 🏀 between Australia and USA tonight. Good sportsmanship all around. But where has Joe Ingles' jump shot gone?


Nice day to shoot some hoops. 🏀


I hit the basketball court today, after about 6 months of not even touching a ball. I actually had good shooting touch, but man, my back is sore! 🏀


I miss playing basketball 🏀. I was good at it and now I’m just old and decrepit.


It’s great to have NBL basketball back. 🏀


I’m looking forward to the NBL v NBA games coming up this week. Such a shame my Perth Wildcats will be without their starting centre, Angus Brandt. We needed that unit, who has a build like Aaron Baynes. 🏀


I just watched the most insane 🏀 brawl. Australian Boomers @ Philippines. Had been getting chippy, then a hard foul suddenly escalated to the Philippines bench clearing and smashing Aussies all over the place. Disgusting display. Can’t believe they’ll be hosting the World Cup.
