Chaos, Champions & Cotton: The Story of the 2025 NBL Season
#BryceCotton #NBL2025 #AustralianBasketball
Joey Wright is back, and together with Boti Nagy, we take a deep, honest look back at one of the most dramatic years in NBL history.
From Bryce Cotton’s stunning move to Adelaide, to Illawarra’s championship run, billionaire ownership battles, imports imploding, records falling, and legends lost — 2025 had everything.
We revisit the moments that defined the year:
• Montrezl Harrell’s public fallout
• Tyler Harvey’s championship-winning three
• Matthew Dellavedova’s class act handing over Player of the Game
• Jack McVeigh’s monster contract
• Javale McGee arriving in the NBL
• Melbourne United’s blistering 9–0 start — and collapse
• Stu Lash’s failed coaching experiment
• Bryce Cotton’s jaw-dropping 53-point game
• And the players, coaches, and people we lost along the way
We also answer viewer questions about end-of-game decision-making, broken seasons, dysfunctional teams, and whether the modern NBL is too reliant on the three-point shot.
This is not just a recap — it’s the story of a league at a crossroads.🕯️ IN MEMORIAM – 2025
We honour those we lost this year:
Darryl “The Iceman” Pearce
Rick Longley
Alan Hughes
Alan Dawe
Kevin Braswell
Colin Burdett
