NBL - Singapore Slingers

Ever dream of watching an NBA live but find such entertainment financially and geographically impossible? There is a nice alternative around town - NBL. A basket ball league with teams from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.

Check this out!

Picture taken from the first few rows of the stadium ok! Can you afford such seat in NBA games?

The players - look, they got the height, 1.9m to 2m.



Time out entertainment, kids playing slam dung. A tall dad carry his son so that he could do the slam dung. Notice the score board hanging in the middle of the court? It is just like NBA screens, the infrastructure is pretty professional! I find the strings of black speakers hanging from the screens particularly interesting - the whole thing (screen plus speaker) look like Octopus to me.


They also have cheer leaders giving out basket ball in addition to doing their classic cheer leading dance steps, my friend, the most eligible bachelor in town, Datuk Ji would love this.


Besides this, there are other entertainment such as "kiss cam" where the camera would zoom to a couple and the couple is requested to kiss in front of camera. They also invited a team from "do you think you can dance" to show their dance step during half time entertainment. You also have lucky draw, a chance to shoot at free throw lines to win prizes, nice music, funny sounds to boo the visiting team when they fail at their free-throws and interesting audience who try to distract the players when players throw their free-throws. Not forgetting a chance to hug the very cute and hairy mascot - Merlion, which I failed to take picture somehow.

Overall, quite a nice experience :)
