    Interesting, kind of felt bad that the NBA fan took it out on him during his last season with Raptors. He was an undrafted player, who probably should had a reserve role but got made a starter.

    Also apparently he got suspended for 5 days from the NBL after this altercation

    Commander earned his retirement. Insane that he even recovered to be in any playing shape after the crazy injury

    That’s sad. I loved his time in SA, and he seemed like a fun dude.

    Did so well to come back and play again after the injury. Had some solid years in the league and I’m sure we will see him around the NBL games.

    Thanks for your time with us in The Boomers and the NBL and a big thank you to the NBA for giving him the chance at the big time. Retire well, mate.
