Larry Kestelman Joins Fireside Chats Live Q&A

The NBL is in the middle of a phenomenal period of growth, new teams, a growing connection with the NBA, crowds increasing year on year, and a former player who some predict will be the number 1 pick in the NBA draft.
 
Nothing suggested that growth would not continue, then COVID-19 hit, and everything changed. Sport, business and life, in general, required a pivot. NBL owner, and one of Australia’s most successful businessmen, Larry Kestelman needed to make changes.
 
He joins us on the next episode of our Fireside Chats, to discuss the NBL, business and his thoughts on the Phoenix’s first season.
