Rahmon Fletcher Shows Out on Way to BBL Playoff Final MVP!

By Sam Neter on May 12, 2015

Newcastle Eagles underlined their dominance of the British Basketball League by completing a second clean sweep in four years with a 96-84 defeat of London Lions in the BBL Play-off Final at The O2 on Sunday, but it was a diminutive point guard who stole the show.

Eagles rode out a hot start from the hometown Lions, spurred on by a record crowd of 14,700, to seize control with an excellent all-round display capped by a 23-point, nine-assist and six-rebound MVP performance from Rahmon Fletcher.

The 5’10” guard crossed people up, dropped dimes and finished tough shots on his way to MVP and helped Newcastle to their fourth title this season.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
