Basketball NSW would like to congratulate both Emmett Adair (NSW Metro/ Norths Bears) & Tama Isaac (NSW Country/ Maitland Mustangs) on their selection for the NBA Basketball Without Borders Camp (BWB).
Adair and Issac will travel to the 13th edition of Basketball Without Borders (BWB) Asia, which will be held this weekend from Friday, June 2 – Monday, June 5 at the New York University campus in Abu Dhabi.
Adair has been selected in the Australian squad while Issac will be lining up for New Zealand after he recently moved to New Zealand to take up a great opportunity with a scholarship in Christchurch for his Year 11 and 12 schooling.
