History Made In Phoenix: The Adelaide 36ers' Incredible Win Against NBA Stars

The story of the Adelaide's big win over the Phoenix Suns, making it the first time an NBL team has defeated an NBL team in history.

[@ilovesports4927]

For one team it's an exhibition and for the players on the other team, it's an opportunity of a lifetime.

Kai sotto part of that history🇵🇭🔥♥️

[@benitobuenavides7690]

We Filipino's are watching NBL today because of Kai now I know why Kai went to nbl. The players are great and the league is one of the best in the world. Keep it Up National Basketball League!

[@mattfreeman2082]

best development league in the world. Teaches guys how to play team ball and good defence. building role players in the nba year after year.

Congratulations 36ers and NBL... full support from the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

It's so nice to see the support from the Philippines, cheering on Kai Sotto!! I can't wait for the new NBL season and we can all get hype over Adelaide together! 🇵🇭🇦🇺

[@seanbayley7452]

I'm an Aussie bball fan who loves U Filipinos U guys bring so much passion to the fanbase of the 36ers it's unbelievable,I don't see Kai in the NBL to much longer as an NBA team will scoop him up soon enough and even if he were to be a bust which I highly doubt as I believe he will do well in the NBA as his game translates well to the style of play there but God forbid if he didn't work out for whatever reason it would still be a big win for his team due to the great amount of awesome support the Filipinos bring to the party I reckon his contract would be covered just on his jersey sales so it's a win win for any team who takes him and I do believe after this season he will be on an NBA roster so good luck this season Kai and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the big show .

[@gianrhey8915]

@@seanbayley7452 thanks buddy for ur appreciation, we do know that Kai has to develop more in many ways and we're very thankful to NBL for their support and publicity to our kid, more hype from our fellow Filipinos doesn't gonna help his status instead would create a negative impact to his image, Kai is hard working and willing to learn from ur dominant Aussie leage. I just keep my mouth shut and wait for that very day... SLOWLY but SURELY

[@Sargo197]

They were on fire. The extra court space probably helped. Europeans have said it is easier to score in the NBA.

[@davidlu7245]

You get more space to operate and ppl can’t just clog the bottom of the rim like in FIBA formatted basketball

[@xpact83]

Don't get that quote of luka wrong. Easier to score in the nba for superstars but he did not mean that they will outscore nba teams.

[@mako4874]

It is . Harder to guard too by extension

[@lakan3462]

Congratulations Adelaide. All of you boys did a mighty fine job playing. I love Johnson and McCarron, they may not be flashy but they sure are dependable and team-players. I love seeing Kai play with this two. They have chemistry. Goodluck with your next game boys 🇵🇭🇦🇺

[@buzzliteyear11]

Not going to lie that was a great game by all of the Sixers players. Randall and Franks were just straight fire. Shame Johnson got injured, he was looking sharp. Hope they can keep this rhythm in OKC. By the way Gaze commentating plays with NBA crew was so good to listen to, absolute legend. Huge win for Sixers and NBL.

[@troychriscarretas2657]

Not just the Scoring of Randall and Franks But the 16 Assists of Mitch also Kai gave Ayton a difficult time and made the Suns terrible at the 3pt range

[@giacomogiacomo1194]

So happy for the resurgence of Aussie ball old enough to remember the good times with Leroy cal gaze Copeland etc and the bad times kudos to the nbl management and everyone involved all down the line the effort from everyone from the top to bottom has made me watch Aussie ball again

[@seanbayley7452]

Agreed m8 I remember the ups and downs U mentioned, I have noticed the biggest up swing in talent has come from those Aussie kids who's dad was an import for a team in the NBL and stayed here and raised a family after his pro career came to an end, if U look at the last few kids who have done really well they have the Aussie mum and yank dad it seems like a great mix the athleticism of the dad with the finesse if the mother just a good mix even Josh giddy though he's all Aussie his parents are bball through and through, we are in a period of development in our young kids we haven't seen b4 imo not on this leve at least even next year and for a few years to come its really a great time to be an Aussie bball fan.

Go Adelaide 💪🏀 All the units are awesome

[@fliesonthewall-avirtuosoparty]

D. Johnson did kamikaze drives and "sharp" (literally) shooter moves. McCarron is a notch above CP3 (not an empty claim) and with 16 assists, that makes him a legit phenom in the sport. Randell Franks and Cleveland are both natural talents with chips on their shoulders, great stamina and agility shown for all 35 minutes, it's their sport after all - good move by the front office and CJ recruiting them both. As for Kai Sotto? doing quality minutes as usual, effective in salvaging scraps and disrupting attempts. Someone nerd crunched an nba stat and came up with one including Kai and that is: For nba players playing 15-18 minutes in the last 1 or 2 decades (not sure of the time frame but you can look the american channel up), among them Kai ranked 3rd in terms of pts production, already. Not bad for a secondary task. And those are scrap opportunities unlike plays set for say a very young Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

[@nimpetamin6425]

Randall and franks really made a difference and also the playmaking of macaron played major part,

Was said he'd never witnessed a shooting display like this in his life beit NBA or otherwise and if an NBA team could shoot like this constantly they'd be NBA champions.

Congratulations Adelaide ! MABUHAY ! ! ! It was a great game. Kudos to Coach Cj. He laid out a masterful game plan & good player rotation. Just hope he still has some aces under his sleeves. Wont be surprise tbough if he received an offer sheet from the NBA. 😉 capt mitch also has a monster game. 16 assists ! What have capt mitch eaten for breakfast, garlic rice? Maybe Kai can prepare a toci-log or tapasilog next time. 😉 . Solid game @ kz sotto. Only a foul can stop a Kai under the basket . And capt mitch & Dj knows that .I dont expect u to dominate aYton but u did held ur ground. Splendid! Team @adelaide go get okc next ! Just a little disappointment chet wasnt there . But i would be glad to see a nasty block on dieng. #SoarHighKai

The whole world got notified,. 36ers came to play, to show they ready for the upcoming season. Man, Franks and Randall highlights the show, with Kai doing his part.

[@gerardo9108]

Phoenix played well, their NBA points per game was 114.8ppg on NBA 2021-2022. They made 124 points against 36ers. Thus, any team that could score over 130 points will have a great chance of winning against them.

[@courtney9162]

Craig Randall II is incredible. Best player on Adelaide 36ers imo. Good win boys!

[@wolverinexman5105]

Kai sotto should learn how to control the rebound space...he must study how Daniel Johnson controlling the rebound space by preventing opponents to get closer to the basket to control bigger rebound space.. Kai as center should create bigger rebound space.. mistake of Kai is he immediately run below the basket then waiting for the ball to fall, he should have just wait the projection of the ball first while he is preventing his opponent from taking bigger control on the rebound space, in that way Kai controls the bigger rebound space..70 to 80 % of the ball don't bounce below the basket but 1 to 3 meters away from the ring. Fyi, Kai sotto altered most suns NBA players shots and made them missed that is because he is a natural defender...Kai's length is a problem for his opponents to really take a look at their target that's why most NBA players shots is not falling to their target.

[@youmustknow-baldos6336]

This comment is legit. 😎 But be careful Mate, Salty Filipinos are coming in 3....2....1.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wolverinexman5105]

@@youmustknow-baldos6336 I'm a Filipino man, we only talk when we already know and observe but Kai sotto bashers they already prejudge Kai without even knowing how Kai's play before during high school... Filipinos won't get offended when it's true from true observation..fyi, Kai sotto is just 20 years old the youngest player and center in NBL, while dj is already a veteran center. Kai has more room to improve because of his age. The faster Kai knows his mistake, the faster he realize, the faster he improve, the faster he can go to NBA. He has height and mobility, just refine tuning needed.

[@renatodemavibas6148]

That is boxing out...put youself between the man and the basket as the shot is taken. Also, good if you are able to determine where the ball will go or bounce. Rodman is good at this, and seems Tab said that Baltazar of Gilas can do this also...Idk how good though.
