Watching the telecast of the Phoenix Suns hosting the Chicago Bulls tonight, a group of Australian Phoenix Suns fans got some special attention from the presenters.

As well as being interviewed, they were featured on camera repeatedly and more importantly, they influenced the commentators to integrate "crikey!!" into the coverage more than once, the tried and tired "throw another a shrimp on the barbie" line and even managed to get a "streuth!" on air.

Congratulations boys. Don't listen to them when they mention in the telecast that you're a bad luck charm to the Suns. If you're reading this and see these photos, drop me a line!

At least they got to see a good game - the Bulls were firing on all cylinders

True dat, San Fran. That zippy backcourt of theirs certainly had no problems filling it up on the night...

Saweeeeeeeta. The one on the right is me.

To be more precise from the top picture this is who is who from left to right.

Steven
Simmo
Sam
Stafford
Daniel

Unfortunately I couldn't make the final trip to Phoenix (had to pay extra $ to shorten my trip ) and missed out on a bunch of stuff, I was on the whole East coast trip though and it was a blast.

Later much,

D

Nice work guys!!! You're living the dream of pretty much every Aussie NBA fan.

That video on Planet Orange says it all.

Stafford, I'll be in touch via email...

Where'd you get the screen shots? I'm the guy in the green cap (Daniel, you got the order wrong; it's Stafford/SDU, me/Impulse, Steven/nevetsov, Simon/KPC Sam/tastic).

I'd love to get this video (esp., obviously the parts where I feature, which is few places since I'm not a foreigner)

Hey Impulse,

Sorry I didn't get around to responding to this comment sooner...

I was watching the game via the NBA Broadband coverage on ilp.nba.com -- it's a subscription based thing. I took screen caps as I was watching.

You can also order the specific game on DVD through pontel.com -- they're good. Though, if you're actually based in the US, I don't think they sell to that market.

Apart from that I don't know if the footage is on the Planet Orange site in those videos?
