The Boomers: A Biography: From heartbreak to triumph: how our national basketball team went from misfits to superstars
Logue, Matt2024
Book
In this unauthorised biography of our national team, Matt Logue goes back to the beginning - to the DNA of the Boomers - to tell the story of today's success and to honour the people, including Lindsay Gaze, who fought against the odds to make the fairy tale happen. The Boomers' leading scorer and five-time Olympian probably knows more than anyone how many hours have been invested by countless players and officials to bring basketball in this country to the point where we have a men's Olympic medal -winning team and more than a million registered players. Not least among these dedicated servants is Gaze's father, Lindsay, who is known as the 'Godfather of Australian Basketball'. This is a story of toil, emotion and national pride; a celebration of talent and international triumph; and a salute to the pioneers. And it's not over yet!
