That should get a nibble or two.
It helps that 4 out of 8 teams reach the finals, but that still means being in the top half every year for 30 years in a league with a salary cap. That takes quite some doing.Quote:

And in the early 90's (when basketball was pretty huge in Australia) there were 14 teams and only top 6 made finals. Wildcats won back to back titles in that period.Quote:
