Part 2 of our NBA Finals Pod with Oklahoma resident, former Philadelphia 76ers player, and Bendigo Braves / SEABL Conference MVP Ivan McFarlin.
In this episode, Ivan relives taking boats and bullet trains on road trips in his professional international career, spanning across 7+ countries, including Switzerland, France, Poland, Turkey, Australia, Japan & USA.
Focusing on his time with Bendigo, fun playing for the Braves and the leadership from Ricky Daniels, pride as a parent and the support of the Daniels family, following Kai and Dyson's careers and Dash's potential/development.
Re-live the anniversary of the 2011 Bendigo Player Hater's Ball from Bramble Pavillion.
Quiz time is guessing who else wore #31 for the 76ers.
"Return of the Mac" and his favourite basketball pump-up tunes.
Finally, Trent shares his Allen Iverson memorabilia collection; and Ivan settles the classic debate, who has better fashion sense: Ivan, Chris Novak or Chris Hogan?
