Doing things the right way

Doing things the right way

16 February 2024

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.
