NBL EXPERIENCE
Chris McGraw made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets on 3/2/1980. He scored six points in his first game.
After falling short against Canberra Cannons in the previous years Grand Final, the Brisbane Bullets added the legendary Cal Bruton to the squad and a young John Dorge to the squad and played with a renewed vigor in 1985. McGraw averaged 6.6 points and 6.4 rebounds during the season and helped guide the Bullets to a first place with a record of 20-6. McGraw and his new teammates then received a first round bye in the NBL playoffs and would meet the winner of the elimination final between the Coburg Giants and last year’s champions Canberra. Canberra eliminated Coburg convincingly by 23 points, setting up a grand final re-match between the two team in the semifinals.
McGraw received limited opportunities in the Bullets semi-final, failing to score in little playing time. The Bullets however claimed a 93-76 win over Canberra, which earned them a Grand Final matchup against the Adelaide 36ers.
McGraw stepped it up in the Grand Final game, notching up 6 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the 121-95 victory that saw win their first NBL championship on their home court at the Sleeman Sports Centre (Brisbane).
The Bullets moved from the 2,700-seat Chandler Arena into the larger, 13,500-capacity Brisbane Entertainment Centre in 1986 and McGraw would play a role in Brisbane finishing the season in third spot, behind the Adelaide 36ers whom they beat in the NBL Finals the season prior. This would also prompt the NBL to extend the deciding series from a one-game playoff to a three-game series from here onwards.
Adelaide would reverse last seasons result, winning in three games, to claim the championship. Gerhardt played in all three games, scoring a total of ten points.
Chris McGraw played eight seasons the Brisbane Bullets. He averaged 5.1 points, 3 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 187 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
