It looks set to be another day, and another interesting story from journalists at Fox Sports today.
Get up to speed on the news in our easily consumable honest regional news wrap here:
With very little happening outside of the NRL news cycle, the under-pressure journos at the online masthead have decided to squeeze the last ounce out of The Last Dance – by contacting Aussie great Shane Heal.
Following a few weeks of trying to concoct a storyline about Michael Jordan hating Luc Longley enough to exclude him from the documentary, Fox Sports have finally decided to drop the Hammer!
Shane Heal, affectionately known by Australian basketball fans as ‘The Hammer,’ played a couple of strong seasons in the NBA, and along with Luc Longley and Andrew Gaze laid a platform for the likes of Bogut, Delladova, Mills, Simmons, Exum and the current crop getting around the American comp.
So, in an effort to get some more clicks out of the show that had plenty of non-basketball fans hanging out for a Monday night, the Fox Sports are set to exclusively reveal that time Shane Heal was on the same golf course as Michael Jordan one time.
“Apparently someone told Shane that the boys were betting heaps on the game and Jordan was having a stinker! What an Aussie twist and insight that is!” explained one Staff Writer.
“And then Shane saw Michael and they said hello! Cause Shane played against him three times, but we’ve already covered that!”
It’s believed the cracker ‘yarn’ is set to go out at some point this afternoon before the NRL team lists get announced.
More to come.
