Andrew Gaze is the preeminent figure in Australian basketball for the last half-century. 

A key pillar in the Gaze family basketball dynasty, it isn't too far from the truth to say Andrew was born on a basketball court. 

Named NBL Rookie of the Year at 18 and an Olympian at 19, Gaze's career is marked by numerous accolades, including being an NBA champion in 1999, a two-time NBL champion (1993, 1997), a seven-time NBL MVP (1991, 1992, 1994–1998), and a fourteen-time NBL scoring champion (1986, 1988, 1989, 1991–2001). 

He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004 and elevated to legend status in 2022, joined the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2005, and was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2013.
