Jeff Van Groningen is one of Australia's most highly respected basketball business heads, being involved in top positions at the Adelaide 36ers, Sydney Kings & Brisbane Bullets.

He was at one point the NBL's youngest head coach in league history, and played large hands in getting Andrew Bogut to the Kings & Josh Giddey to Adelaide.

Tommy sits down with Jeff to gain a new perspective on the business of basketball, especially within Australia.

The kid from Melbourne! Johnny Furphy joins Tommy & the BM Pod to discuss his debut NBA Season, reaching the NBA Finals with the Indiana Pacers, including a season ending injury to the team's star, Tyrese Haliburton.

(Plenty of 2028 Olympics/Boomers chat too :)

Awesome to catch up the Furph at Courtside in Melbourne a few months back, whilst he was back home for the off-season.

We're pumped bringing these basketball episodes to you, but let us know in the comments, your thoughts on the show!

Our Last Episode of the year! (probably not lol). We have our great mate, Fox Footy's Jarra Davis jumps on the pod to dissect everything from grand final week! (Probably the first genuine good footballing mind to be on the pod all year).

Thank-you to anyone who has listened to any of the content from the pod this year. It started extremely rocky but, we seriously appreciate all of you who have supported the show at any stage. We hope you'll stick around for an awesome 2026.

This season hasn't been able to resist being unpredictible. With one rescheduled game to come on Wednesday, there's only one spot left available in the 2025 AFL Finals.

The Dogs & Suns leave it up to this game after both losing in Round 23.

[We will pre-record an episode later on this week after we know the result of Gold Coast vs Essendon, and release our predictions going into finals on the same time next Monday.]
