GLASGOW FIND THEIR KING MA-KER

By on November 16, 2010

Glasgow Rocks have ended their long search for a centre by signing 6’10” Dutch international Michael Kingma until the end of the season.

The Australian-born giant finished last term Down Under with Rockhampton Rockets after previous stints in New Zealand, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The 31-year old, who is due to arrive in Scotland on Tuesday, had a bit-part playing a Wookiee in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

However Rocks coach Sterling Davis expects him to claim a starring role when he makes his BBL debut against Worthing next weekend.

“Michael is a guy who was on my radar earlier in the summer but at the time, things just didn’t suit,” said Davis.

“Surprisingly he was still available at this point in the season but he plays exactly the position we are short on.

“He will definitely give us the size inside we have been looking for.  He has a knack for the ball when it comes to rebounding but is also an offensive threat with his ability to face up to the opposition.  He will definitely give us the option to throw different looks at teams.”

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.
