Brad Newley joins the podcast to reflect on a remarkable career that spanned over two decades, three NBL clubs, countless international tournaments, and a stint with the NBA’s Houston Rockets. From his breakout rookie season with Townsville to Olympic campaigns with the Boomers and his late-career leadership role at Melbourne United, Newley shares the highs, challenges, and defining moments that shaped his journey.

We dig into his development at the AIS, becoming the first player to ever win NBL Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man in the same season, and his MVP performance at the 2005 NBL All-Star Game. Newley also opens up about his four-year run with Gran Canaria, international battles against Team USA, and the evolution of the Sydney Kings under Andrew Gaze and Will Weaver.

Topics include:

🏀 Winning gold at the 2003 FIBA U19 World Championships with Bogut and how that team laid the foundation for a Boomers dynasty (2:00) 🏀 Breaking out with the Townsville Crocs and winning Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man in the same season (6:00) 🏀 Drafted by the Houston Rockets and why he chose to launch his career in Europe instead (12:00) 🏀 His time in Spain and Greece—big games, wild stories, and adjusting to life overseas (18:00) 🏀 Why returning to the NBL with Sydney felt right—and the early days under Andrew Gaze (26:00) 🏀 Inside the locker room during the Kings’ rebuild, the pressure of expectations, and forming a trio with Kevin Lisch and Andrew Bogut (32:00) 🏀 2020 Grand Final series against Perth and the disappointment of COVID ending the championship chase (41:00) 🏀 Transitioning to Melbourne United and mentoring the next generation (47:00) 🏀 Representing Australia at two Olympics, battling Team USA, and his proudest Boomers moments (52:00) 🏀 Announcing his retirement in 2024—and what’s next for Brad Newley (58:00)
