About
We're your homegrown platform for all things Aussie hoops.
Just like the offensive play it was named after, The Pick and Roll aims to be simple, yet effective. We’re about the wildly passionate fans. The ones who bleed green and gold, the folks who live, eat and sleep Australian basketball, and still have nightmares about that foul in the Rio Olympics. The ones who fly the flag proudly, the ones that cheer for our boys and girls, our men and women all over the world.
We’re all about you.
Since 2013, The Pick and Roll has built its reputation as an independent, unbiased voice, and we do not shift our narratives to suit big brand shareholders (it’s owned by two basketball fans holding day jobs). Subscribe to ensure the independent platform we’ve created to nurture talented journalists and writers, continues to flourish.
Basketball isn’t receiving enough coverage in Australia, and we will do our part to grow the landscape, like what we’ve done for the last seven years. From now on, we’ll be reliant on your subscriptions to make things work. But that’s fine, because we know you’re there: we’re all in this together.
Join us, and let’s make Aussie hoops better.
Your subscription will make sure our people are paid to continue their work around Australian basketball and our talented athletes - those same authentic voices you’re so familiar with, coupled with editorial integrity.
