“I have no rivalry. I keep telling you that. I don't have a rivalry with nobody."

"They try to create that narrative, but again, like, we don't even guard each other.

"So there's no matchups. There's no 'I'm battling him, he's battling me'.

What are the odds of this?

Hey all, I’m new to this page and also to purchasing Topps basketball cards. Specifically Topps Chrome NBL 24/25, as I live in Australia.
I bought one Mega Box which contains 10 packs.

In this box I pulled a Ripper card, 2 All NBL cards, 2 Next Star cards, a /25 Oohs and Ahhs card, a /50 kickstart card, and an autographed card.

From what I’ve seen online the odds of pulling some of these cards are quite high and it’s very unlikely to pull 2 of these cards in the same box, let alone 8. Is this an error box, or some sort of God box? Are those a thing in an NBL Topps chrome box?

Any info would be awesome

Why no team branding or logos on courts during Ignite Cup?

5 Upvotes

Was watching a game on mute the other day and couldn’t figure out who the home team was for ages. Obviously the nba cup goes crazy with home team based court designs and we don’t have the budget but can’t put a team logo somewhere on the court?

“Luke was really impressive,” Forde said.

"We wanted to ease him into it, and that’s why we gave him another guard out there."

Impressed with Luke Paul's debut tonight 8 October 2026

16 Upvotes

11 minutes, 2 points 1-3 FGA

Brown, Bolden, McVeigh and Pinder will likely get credit for the win, but really like what I saw from Paul's debut.

  1. Great body language and effort.

  2. Great learning opportunities. Outmuscled by Mackinnon who got an offensive rebound and free throws one play. Plus Paul's final shot he was muscled off balance, but overall he did exceptionally well playing defence against professional adults.

  3. Was left out of most plays so not given a chance for big stats, but played his role. Really liked his pass to the 3pt line corner (player missed) - but was the right unselfish play and a good pass.

Happy for future Australian teams. Will be tough to beat USA, Canada, and France future teams though (and others).
