BT used to do the Good Sports on the Greater 3UZ in the early 90’s
Was on air 11pm to midnight after the last races had run.
Friday nights shows were followed by Boydies Truck Stop. (Roll on big mummaaaa..)
At the time the Pies were I think trying to introduce Collingwood radio and BT was submitting audition tapes.
Strange cat very very highly strung.
 
NBA card collecting was a phenomenon for a few years. In Shaq's rookie year, everyone started collecting basketball cards suddenly, even kids who didn't really play basketball. It lasted for two, maybe three years until the mid-90s and then everyone stopped, just as abruptly as they'd begun. But those few years were something else: there were shops in the outer suburbs that specialised in basketball cards and everything.
93/93 season was a boom, MJ Power in the Key, Shaq/Penny thunder and lightning..
Skybox, Fleer, NBA hoops gold anniversary
Going after footy training to the chemist to buy a pack, glory days

Bought a 94-95 whole box with my mate and felt like I’d completed if not cheated the hobby .. petered out just about the next year and I never looked at my file of cards again
 
Word around some Dogs circles is mental health and potentially early retirement, kids not in a good head space by any means.
Jamara tried picking up my daughters friend at the Torquay hotel over the Xmas break.
She rejected him (knowing he had a girlfriend) and he didn't take it well.

MMM played a heap of these 3UZ recordings 7 or 8 years ago and it was an absolute pisser

About 10 years ago a bunch of mates and I decided to have a piss up at home and everyone had to bring a box of basketball cards. Doing a search on eBay at the time, I couldn't believe it: you could get a lot of those early 90s boxes, still sealed, for like $30-40. Can't recall exactly how much, but I got a box of Fleer Ultras from 1994 and I'm positive I wouldn't have paid more than $50, i just wanted as many packs as possible to crack open and make jokes about the players, wasn't fussed about the going value of them. Others bought boxes from the (then) modern era, which only had like four cards in a pack and a lot of the packs had this cardboard packing junk in it, because the special cards contain a patch of a player's game worn uniform, so they had to hide it so you couldn't tell from the outside which packs had the prized cards.

Such a great day, highly recommend if those bargains can still be had on eBay, although considering those boxes were probably like $130-150 when they were first released, you probably shouldn't expect to get rich from it.

Memories... ah... apologies to those who weren't obsessed with basketball cards 30 years ago for the slight derailing.
