OKLAHOMA CITY -- In helping Melbourne United almost defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, American point guard Casper Ware also reminded the NBA fraternity that his skills have not diminished since he was last in the league.
In the second of the National Basketball League's games against NBA opposition, Ware took the game right up to the Thunder, and their superstar point guard Russell Westbrook, finishing with an impressive 20 points (6-19 from the field, including 6-13 from three-point range), six rebounds and three assists.
"It opened some eyes around the world that the NBL is a great league," Ware told ESPN after the game.
