The NBL was formed in 1979 as Australia’s premiere professional basketball competition and the Bullets are one of two founding member teams still in existence today. Brisbane is also a part of arguably Australia’s biggest rivalry, which is between the Bullets and the Adelaide 36ers.

Chicago born and raised. Cubs and Bulls die hard. Love the Hawks and Bears too. You can usually find me drinking beers at AJ Hudson's watching West Ham soccer in the Premier League or hiking on a mountain somewhere.
