Throwback: Derby Storm Highlights from the 98/99 Season!

By Sam Neter on April 30, 2013

Apparently dubbed the Wild Boys of British Basketball by the media, the 1998/99 Derby Storm season was a controversial, albeit successful one for Derby

They were Uniball Trophy finalists, but performances on the court were overshadowed by a number of disciplinary issues throughout the season.

This real nice highlight reel that cropped up on YouTube this week from their season was mainly shot at Moorways Derby, and includes an in-prime Yorrick Williams in his only season there (averaged 17.3ppg in 24 appearances). Check it out:

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.
