Only a Mike Helms could have done what he did. At yesterday’s Slingers game against the Brisbane Bullets, he showed us why he is our darling again.
The opponents know him, they have marked him down. At every game that I’ve watched, Mike is always literally barricaded by humans. This makes it painfully frustrating for him to play.
Yet, again and again, we have seen Mike rise against the odds. He’d duck them in the most unexpected ways, grab the ball, rush it in to the end of the court like a police car chase, and score.

Chances of Mike scoring this? 99%
