Mattisse Thybulle is a defensive monster and it also turns out he’s pretty handy with video editing, judging by his behind-the-scenes YouTube series, Road to Tokyo.
The series takes you to the hotel rooms and training court of the Boomers as Thybulle takes his initiation into Boomers culture with good humour, and shows signs of an inner bogan waiting to burst through as he rocks his first pair of “volleys” and is called “disgusting” by Joe Ingles for walking around barefoot.
There is also very personal footage showing the emotional moment Patty Mills is given the honour of being one of Australia’s flagbearers and much much more.

Jarrad Hurley's professional basketball aspirations led him to the dizzying heights of the Adelaide social league circuit. After an epiphany that his hoop dreams would go unrealised, he put the ball down and picked up a pen. Jarrad lives vicariously through the successes of Australian basketball, is a mad 36ers fanatic, and might just cry if the Boomers ever medal.
