Downtown’s Tommy Greer and Liam Santamaria discuss all the latest NBL and NBA basketball news and debate the hottest issues in the game.



Tommy “Grizz” Greer (@tommygreer10) is the retired Captain of the Melbourne Tigers. He racked up an impressive 9 years playing in the NBL, including 4 as captain, and he brings his pro insights and fresh perspective on all things basketball.



Liam “Tizz” Santamaria (@liam_santa) has spent his whole life involved with hoops. He spent one NBL season in the vital role of 4th-string PG with the Victoria Titans, but he’s now more likely to be found behind the mic at SEN Sports Radio in Melbourne or watching and writing about the game.



Always keeping the boys in line is Brett "BT" Thomas (@BrettT_SEN) 'in the box with the drops.
