    Doing things the right way

    Doing things the right way


    That's the legacy former New Zealand Breaker Mika Vukona believes Tom Abercrombie will leave behind as the skipper's 16-year NBL career is set to come to an end this season.

    The 36-year-old is the all-time club leader in games, points, blocks and steals.

    Vukona - who won four NBL titles with Abercrombie - says his former teammate has shown you don't need to travel the globe to make a career out of basketball.



    Abercrombie faces what could be his final home game tonight, the Breakers hosting the Brisbane Bullets from after half past 7.
