In Conversation with Bob Turner, Singapore Slingers & ASEAN Basketball League

Running a sports league in Singapore is a challenging enterprise, given the market being small and also difficulty in bringing in the audience and sponsorship for the matches. Bob Turner started his career as a basketball player, moved on to become a coach and then expanded the Australian National Basketball League to Asia. In the process, he set up the Singapore Slingers team with considerable amount of success as a private enterprise and got them to compete in the Australian League for 3 years. Now together with Tony Fernandes from AirAsia, he pioneered the Asean Basketball League that started this year with the games telecast on ESPN. While watching an exciting Asean basketball league match recently, we sat down with Bob who tells us of his excitement in running a basketball team as a sports enterprise and the challenges ahead to maintain a basketball league for ASEAN.
