TheAustralia men's national basketball team, nicknamed theBoomers after the slang term for a male kangaroo, representsAustralia in internationalbasketball competition.[2]
Since the late 1980s, Australia has placed among the world elite teams, as the Boomers have reached the semi-finals at bothSummer Olympic Games andFIBA World Cup on many occasions. Originally a member of theFIBA Oceania region, Australia nowadays competes at theFIBA Asia Cup where the Boomers were the dominant team at their first appearance. TheFIBA Oceania Championship mostly consisted of a three-match competition against the other regional power, theNew Zealand Tall Blacks. Before the formation of the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1979, Boomers players were selected from state leagues around the country, withVictoria,South Australia, and to a lesser extentNew South Wales the dominant states. After the formation of the NBL, players began to be selected almost exclusively from that competition during the 1980s and 1990s.
Occasionally players were selected from outside the NBL.Mark Bradtke made his Boomers debut in 1987 while attending the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) before he entered the NBL.Luc Longley made his debut in 1988 while playing college basketball in the United States. Other Australian players enter theEuroleague and the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the U.S. The Boomers's roster for the2014 World Cup included five NBA players:Cameron Bairstow with theChicago Bulls,Aron Baynes with theSan Antonio Spurs,Matthew Dellavedova with theCleveland Cavaliers, andDante Exum andJoe Ingles with theUtah Jazz. Three other players who were ruled out of the World Cup due to injury also played or would later play in the NBA, namelyAndrew Bogut,Ben Simmons andPatty Mills.
Several players on youth national teams are student athletes at the AIS or in the US college basketball system. Some players (e.g. Longley) made the senior national team while at US schools. By the early 21st century, almost half of the squad played outside Australia. For the2012 London Olympic Games, only two members of the Australian squad were based in the country –Peter Crawford andAdam Gibson, with the latter being the only Australia-based member of the 2014 World Cup squad.
Australia has participated in theOlympic men's basketball tournaments 15 times. The Boomers won a bronze medal againstSlovenia in the 2020 Olympic Games, making Australia the first team from outside theAmericas andEuropean regions to ever win a medal at the event. Australia has also participated in 13FIBA World Cups without winning a medal, making Australia the nation with the second-most appearances at the tournament without winning a medal, behindPuerto Rico (15).
Australia debuted on the international stage at the1956 Summer Olympic Games held inMelbourne. Australia did not fare well in the competition, as they defeated only two sides (Singapore andThailand), finishing 12th. The seeds were sown for Australia to become a regular team in international events.[3]
After not qualifying for the1960 Summer Olympic Games inRome, Italy, Australia returned to compete at the1964 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games. The Australians improved on their position inMelbourne, to be ranked ninth at the completion of the games.[3] After failing in their bid to qualify for the1968 Summer Olympics inMexico City, the Australians were left ininternational isolation.[citation needed]
They did not play again in a major international tournament until1970, when the team qualified for the FIBA World Championship for the first time. The team finished in 12th place, with their sole victory coming over theUnited Arab Republic.[3]
At the1972 Munich Olympic Games Australia changed its guards.Lindsay Gaze made his coaching debut, after he had played at the1964 Summer Olympics.[4] Australia again finished ninth, but close defeats toCzechoslovakia andSpain left the team just a few baskets away from advancing to the second round.Eddie Palubinskas was the holder of the second highest scoring average of the tournament.[3]
At the1976 Montreal Olympic Games, Eddie Palubinskas finished as the top overall scorer, and set three Olympic scoring records, including the most points scored in a single Olympics to that time, with 269 points. The Boomers defeatedMexico, 120–117, in an overtime game, and defeatedJapan, 117–79, as they moved to the second round of the tournament for the first time, on their way to an eighth-place finish.[3]
In 1978, the Boomers headed to thePhilippines for the1978 FIBA World Championship. Australia played their most successful tournament to that time, defeatingCzechoslovakia, theDominican Republic, thePhilippines (twice), and playing eventual gold medallistYugoslavia, losing 105–101. The Boomers advanced to the semi-final round, and placed seventh.[3]
In the1980 Moscow Olympic Games, the Boomers played their best Olympic tournament to that date, equalling their 1976 finish of eighth place. The Boomers defeated eventual silver medallistItaly, 84–77, in the preliminary round, but due to a three-way tie with Italy andCuba, the team failed to advance to the final round, despite 5 wins and 2 losses.
Two years later, the1982 FIBA World Championship was held inColombia. The Australians finished in fifth place.
The Boomers werecaptained at the1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games by Phil Smyth, and introduced coach Lindsay Gaze's 19-year-old son,Andrew Gaze, to the world stage. Australia advanced to the second round, following victories overBrazil andWest Germany. A loss to Italy, and a 16-point win overEgypt, left the Boomers in a must-win situation againstSpain, to advance to the medal round. Spain went up big early in the first half, but the Boomers fought back, ultimately losing by a score of 101–93, ending their medal hopes with an Olympic best seventh-place finish.
Following the 1984 Olympics,Adrian Hurley took over as team coach from Lindsay Gaze.
The1986 FIBA World Championship was a bit disappointing for Australia. Losses toUruguay,Angola, and theSoviet Union during group play kept the Boomers from advancing, and the team finished 17th. Due to a FIBA rule allowing one naturalised player per squad at the World Championship, American born point guardCal Bruton made his Boomers debut at the age of 32.
In 1987, the Boomers faced a home series against the Soviet Union (known as theWang Superchallenge) and although they lost all 6 games, the team, with all players drawn from theNBL other thanAustralian Institute of Sport attendee, 6 ft 10 in (208 cm) centre / power forwardMark Bradtke who was making his debut for the Boomers as a 17 year old (Bradtke would make his NBL debut in 1988 with theAdelaide 36ers).[2]
Motivated by the1986 FIBA World Championship, Australia showed up to the1988 Seoul Olympic Games with quite possibly its most talented roster to that date. Captained by Phil Smyth, the team included Andrew Gaze,Damian Keogh,Darryl Pearce,Ray Borner, and futureChicago Bulls tripleNBA Championship winning centre, 7 ft 2 in (218 cm)Luc Longley who was attending theUniversity of New Mexico. The Boomers breezed through the first round, losing only to gold medallist Soviet Union and silver medallist Yugoslavia. Finishing third place in their group, Australia advanced to the quarter-finals, where they defeated Spain in a closely fought game, by a score of 77–74, sending the Boomers to their first ever semi-finals. They were beaten by Yugoslavia in the semi-final, and then lost to theUnited States (including futureHall of Fame playerDavid Robinson), who ended Australia's dream run with a 78–49 victory in the bronze-medal playoff. Despite the disappointing loss, the Boomers’ fourth-place finish was their best ever result at an Olympic Games (or World Championship) and solidified their status as a rising team.
Australia flew off toBuenos Aires for the1990 FIBA World Championship. Led by Andrew Gaze's 24.3 points per game, fourth most in the tournament, the team defeatedChina,Brazil andArgentina (twice) on their way to a respectable seventh-place finish.
At the1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the Boomers looked to prove their fourth-place run at Seoul was no fluke. In the first Summer Olympic Games since the Soviet Union's dissolution, and the first thatFIBA allowed professional basketball players to play in, Australia played to a respectable 4–4 record and sixth place. The 1992 Olympics saw the return of NBA centerLuc Longley for the Boomers.
Prior to the 1992 Olympics, the Boomers played in a 3-game home series against a visiting "All-Star" team headlined byNBA andNCAAcollege basketball legendKareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Boomers won the series 2–1, including attracting a then Australian basketball record 15,000 fans to theNational Tennis Centre in Melbourne. The Boomers also played in the 1992NBL All-Star Game at theAIS Arena inCanberra against the "USA Stars" (made up of import players in the NBL) which was played on 4 July and was promoted as the "Independence Day Challenge". The Boomers won the game 149–132 with Andrew Gaze scoring 43 points.[5]
At the1994 FIBA World Championship atToronto, Andrew Gaze starred for the Boomers, leading the tournament with an average of 23.9 points per game. In victories overPuerto Rico,South Korea, and Cuba, Gaze scored 34, 31, and 30 points, respectively. Australia finished with a 5–3 record, and finished the tournament in fifth place. This was Phil Smyth's last World Championship appearance as a player
Smyth, the teams long-time captain and point guard would play one last time for the Boomers in March 1995 in Game 4 of a 5-game series against the touringMagic Johnson All-Stars in front of a packed house (12,000) at theSydney Entertainment Centre. The Boomers lost in bothAdelaide andBrisbane and were ultimately swept 5–0 by the All-Stars (who included formerNBA stars Magic Johnson andMark Aguirre), they pushed the visitors all the way in Game 3 at the National Tennis Centre, while Games 4 (Sydney) and 5 (Perth Entertainment Centre) went into overtime. The series however saw the Boomers without 4 of their usual starting 5 with onlyAndrew Vlahov who captained the side playing all 5 games. Missing for the Boomers were Andrew Gaze (playing inGreece),Shane Heal, Mark Bradtke and Luc Longley who was playing for theChicago Bulls.
The1996 Atlanta Olympic Games were another solid showing for Australia. Led by Andrew Gaze, and featuringShane Heal, the team rolled through the early competition, losing only to eventual silver medallist Yugoslavia, and scoring over 100 points in every other preliminary game. In the quarterfinals, the Boomers played a hard-fought game againstCroatia. The game came down to the wire, as forwardTony Ronaldson hit a 3-pointer to win the game, and advance Australia to the semi-finals. There they met the United States, who were powered by a roster of professional NBA players, and the Boomers were defeated 101–73.Lithuania would defeat Australia in the bronze medal game, and the Boomers equalled their 1988 fourth-place finish.
Just prior to the 1996 Olympics, the Boomers played the US in a warm up game. The game, played at theDelta Center inSalt Lake City, was won 118–77 by the US, though Heal topped all scorers with 28 points including hitting 8 of 12three pointers. Heal had a running battle withNBA superstarCharles Barkley during the game with the two almost coming to blows at one point, though they hugged in mutual respect on-court after the game.[6]
Following their exciting run at Atlanta, the Boomers showed up in Greece, for the1998 FIBA World Championship with high hopes. Shane Heal and Andrew Gaze both finished among the top five scorers, with averages of 17.0 and 16.9 points per game, respectively; but a loss to the United States knocked Australia out of medal contention. The Boomers finished the tournament respectably with wins overCanada and Brazil, and walked away with ninth place.
The2000 Summer Olympic Games projected to be an extremely exciting affair for the Boomers, as they played as host inSydney. Despite losses in both of their first two games, Australia recovered nicely, and won their next four games overRussia,Angola, andSpain, to propel them into the quarter-finals, where they defeatedItaly. But Australia's first basketball medal was not to be, asFrance won the semi-final match, and Lithuania captured the bronze medal game. Although their goal of medalling was not achieved, the Boomers gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about, on their way to a fourth-place finish.
After failing to qualify for the2002 FIBA World Championship, the Boomers came into the2004 Athens Olympic Games hungry for victory. Captained by Shane Heal, and featuringfuture NBA Draft first pickAndrew Bogut in his international debut, Australia fought hard on their way to a ninth-place finish.
In early 2006, Australia entered the first everCommonwealth Games basketball competition in their home city of Melbourne and went through the tournament undefeated to claim the gold medal. Later in 2006 at theFIBA World Championship in Japan, Australia was led in scoring by Andrew Bogut,C.J. Bruton, andJason Smith. Despite their efforts, the Boomers failed to qualify for the playoff rounds, and finished tied for ninth place.
The Boomers entered the2008 Beijing Olympic Games with one of their more talented rosters to date, which included Andrew Bogut, C.J. Bruton, CaptainMatthew Nielsen, andPatty Mills, in his international debut. Despite his youth, Mills had a hot hand, scoring over 20 points on several occasions, and leading the team with an average of 14.2 points per game. Australia made the quarter-finals, but gold medallists United States put the Boomers away late in the game, ending their run with a seventh-place finish.
The Boomers qualified for the2010 FIBA World Championship inTurkey and placed 10th overall. In 2011, Melbourne-born number oneNBA draft pickKyrie Irving considered declaring his international allegiance to Australia in order to compete in the 2012 Olympics, but eventually opted to wait for international selection for theUnited States.[7]
Despite Irving declining the offer to represent his country of birth, the Boomers entered the2012 London Olympic Games with arguably their most talented roster since 2000, though they were missing their starcentre Andrew Bogut, who was out with a broken ankle. Australia made the quarter-finals with a 3–2 win–loss record, but gold medallists United States put the Boomers away late in the game, ending their run with a seventh-place finish again.
Following the London Olympics,Brett Brown announced his decision to step down as Boomers head coach, citing his desire to spend more time with his family in the United States. As of December 2012,Basketball Australia was yet to announce his replacement, although one of his assistants, dualNational Basketball League championship winning coach with theNew Zealand Breakers,Andrej Lemanis, was one of the favourites to win the job.[8]
On 24 April 2013, Lemanis was announced as the newhead coach of the Boomers.[9][10][11]
By winning the2013 FIBA Oceania Championship, Australia qualified for the2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain. Australia was drawn into Group D, alongsideLithuania,Slovenia,Angola,Mexico, andSouth Korea. After suffering an opening round 90–80 loss to Slovenia, Australia bounced back, stringing together three consecutive wins over South Korea, Lithuania and Mexico, the first time in 16 years that Australia had won 3 consecutive matches at the FIBA World Cup.[12][13] However, in their next match Australia suffered a 91–83 loss to Angola, which came despite leading by 15 points in the middle of the third quarter. This result, combined with Lithuania's 67–64 win over Slovenia, meant that Australia finished third in their group, qualifying for the knockout stage of the tournament.
Because Australia would finish third by losing, and that finishing third would benefit Australia more than finishing second, combined with the absences of fit key playersAron Baynes andJoe Ingles led to allegations that Australia deliberately lost their game against Angola in order to finish third in their group, and as a result, avoid theUnited States until the semi-finals, with Slovenian basketballerGoran Dragić posting "Basketball is a beautiful sport, there is no room for fixing the game like today Australia vs Angola!! @FIBA should do something about that!" on Twitter. However, these claims were denied by Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] On 26 November 2014, Australia was cleared of tanking by FIBA.[21][22][23][24]
Australia met World No. 7Turkey in the knockout stage of the tournament. Australia suffered a 65–64 loss to Turkey, ending their World Cup campaign, meaning that for the 11th World Cup, Australia would return home empty handed.
Leading into the2016 Rio Olympics, Australia saw a surge in locals being drafted into the NBA. Along with former number 1 NBA draft pickAndrew Bogut,Dante Exum was taken with the fifth pick in the2014 NBA draft andBen Simmons was selected with the first pick in the2016 NBA draft, adding to already established Australian NBA players inPatty Mills,Matthew Dellavedova,Joe Ingles andAron Baynes. ForwardThon Maker was also drafted with the 10th pick in the 2016 NBA draft. Despite Exum, Maker and Simmons electing not to compete in the 2016 Olympics, the Australians equaled their best ever performance by reaching the semifinals and losing their bronze medal playoff withSpain by one point.
In August 2015,FIBA announced Australia would be joining theAsian basketball zone for future tournaments, starting with the2017 FIBA Asia Cup.[25] The Boomers were victorious in their inaugural Asia Cup appearance[26] and turned their attention to2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers against Asian opposition. In July 2018, during the 3rd quarter of their game against thePhilippines for the2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification (Asia), After physical unsportsmanlike hits by Australian player Goulding, Filipino playerRoger Pogoy hitChris Goulding with a hard foul causing teammateDaniel Kickert to retaliate with an elbow strike which sparked afull-scale brawl between the Australians and the Filipinos.[27] Suspensions and fines were handed off to those involved including players from both teams, Filipino coaches and the referees for failing to control the game.[28] After qualifying for the2019 FIBA World Cup, Australia reached the semi-finals for the first time and finished the tournament in fourth place.[29]
At theTokyo 2020 Olympics, led by veteransPatty Mills andJoe Ingles, the Boomers managed to claim their first ever international medal, defeating aLuka Dončić ledSlovenia, 107–93. Mills would score 42 points in the decisive match.[30] The Boomers went through the group stage undefeated, and Mills would be named to the tournament All-Star 5.[31] Additional Australian players were drafted into the NBA with first round draft picks including2019 #20 pickMatisse Thybulle,2020 #18 pickJosh Green,2021 #6 pickJosh Giddey and2022 #8 pickDyson Daniels.
