NBL EXPERIENCE
Thalo Green made his NBL debut with the Melbourne Tigers at 25 years of age. He scored six points in his first game.
In 2003/04, Green averaged 7.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists as the Tigers finished in fifth place with a record of 20-13.
SYDNEY KINGS
2004/05
In 2004/05, Green (5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists) suffered from a niggling virus during his time with the Sydney Kings which ultimately influenced his release in the early stages of the 2004/05 season. Eight games into the season, Sydney replaced Green with Rolan Roberts (16.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.7 blocks) before going on to finish in first place finish in the regular season (21-11) and win the NBL championship. Sydney crushed the Wollongong Hawks in three straight games to become the first team in team ever to win three consecutive championships.
Thalo Green played two seasons in the NBL, playing for both the Melbourne Tigers and the Sydney Kings. He averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 42 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.
