  • BTR SUMMER SHOW - DEBATES AND HOT-TAKES
    Adz, Pabz, Grant and Josh are on hand to discuss and debate the BBL Awards from last season, agreeing and disagreeing... The Dekker debate surfaces once again and questions are asked, staements are made and debated. The debate on coach of the season turns into a debate on where the league is going and the path it is, or isn't on depending on who's asking the question.

    Plenty of disagreement and some hot-takes for some, freezing for others... Good fun had by all, despite how it might sound!

    Enjoy!

  • BTR SPECIAL - RAHMON FLETCHER, his career, his motivations, fans questions and much more...
    A TRIBUTE TO RAHMON FLETCHER

    Adz and Pabz are joined by BBL Legend RAHMON FLETCHER to talk about his retirement, his entire career and significant events throughout. We talk about his exceptional performances both on and off the court and dive into THAT season, when he led a depleted Newcastle Eagles to lift the BBL Cup and win the 2020-21 Playoff Finals, beating Geno and the Riders on the way.

    It pretty much a chronological loo through Rahmons career, what makes him tick and a few glances behind the curtain at a number of BBL aspects.

    Pabz has written something of a companion piece, that should feature on the BBL Daily website soon.

    On behalf of BTR and the BBL, Thank you Rahmon Fletcher.
