Everything
You'll Ever Need To Know About Sir Shane
�Why do
you reckon he's so good??� I hear you asking .......well, if you are one
of the poor deprived people who know nothing about this God, you better
get reading, for your own sake!
Shane
Heal is possibly the best Australian basketballer ever. He is only small
compared to the others in the game; but this doesn't stop him playing so
well what is generally known as a �tall persons sport�. He
is an excellent point guard and the highlight of his game is his massive
three pointers. If you see Shane Heal get the ball from anywhere outside
(half court even!), you better be marking up real close, because this guy
is a dead eye shot. Shane Heal is a hero to many basketballers (including
me) who aren't as large as some of the opponents, as he has proven to us
all, that size doesn't matter, and small players can actually play better.
This man is such an inspiration to all aspiring guards out there who get
pushed around by the big centres and we all thank him very much! "THANKS
SHANE!"

very first NBL team was the Bribane Bullets in 1988. He played 25 games
there and averaged 14.9 points per game!
Heal
then went to Geelong with coach Barry Barnes, until 1992 when he returned
to Brisbane Bullets.
He
transferred to Sydney Kings because the coach was apparently going around
saying things
about
people behind their backs.
Heal
told his coach that he didn't respect him as a person and so couldn't respect
him as a coach.
The
Bullets then gave Heal a release so he could start over.
In
1996 Heal joined the Sydney Kings and took them through to the finals.

PHYSICAL:-
Shane Heal has blond hair and blue eyes -
although with the new short haircut, his hair isn't looking so blonde anymore!
He
is only short compared to the 7 foot something basketball players around
the globe, but being short has probably helped him get where he is today,
as he stands out
as
exceptional when he shows up the taller players.
WIFE:-
Jenny
KIDS:-
Ashleigh and Jaime-Lee.
PRE-GAME
ROUTINE:-Train, eat sleep, shoot, stretch
play.
MOTIVATION:-Winning
AMBITIONS:-To
become a triple olympian, and win an NBL title.
MOTTO:-You
only get out of life what you put in!
INTERESTING
FACTS:- If AFL was played internationally
and you could represent your country for it Shane Heal might never have
been the spectacular basketballer we all know and love him for today.
When
he was young he tossed up between AFL and basketball, and chose basketball
because you can't represent your country in AFL, and his ultimate dream
was to represent Australia.
His
most embarressing moment on court was playing in a game Australia v. New
Zealand with his pants on back to front.
For
some strange and unexplainable reason the place that Shane Heal would like
to be a fly on the wall is Roseanne Barrs bathroom... hmmmm....
