Have you ever seen THREE rangatira repping 🇳🇿 on basketball’s biggest summer stage? 🌏

📍 NBA Summer League | Las Vegas 2025
ANIWANIWA TAIT-JONES (RAPTORS)
SAM MENNENGA (LAKERS)
TYRELL HARRISON (NUGGETS)

3 of them took completely different paths that led them to the same stage - NBA Summer League 2025.

Sam made his way from Westlake to North Carolina, then back home, onto Greece, home again, then Puerto Rico. The 23 year old arrived in Vegas wearing purple and gold.

Only separated by 11 months, Aniwaniwa is no stranger to Vegas. He has been playing tournaments here ever since he was a kid. But finally here wearing an NBA uniform is unreal.

Tyrell didn’t do the US college path, he stayed home and worked hard. The 7fter has been representing NZ on the world stage a few times. After grinding out in Puerto Rico, the Brisbane-born, NZ-blooded giant has earned his starting spot with Denver.

TO OUR TAMARIKI ACROSS AOTEAROA:
These men walked courts YOU play on. They missed shots YOU practice daily. Now they’re in Vegas proving: Ka whawhai tonu mātou! Ake! Ake! Ake!

Which player’s journey inspires YOU most?
Aniwaniwa: 🍁
Sam: ⛵️
Tyrell: ⛰️

What a game! FIBA U19 World Cup Bronze Medal game.

What a game! FIBA U19 World Cup Bronze Medal game. NZL vs SLO.

Losing Oscar Goodman early in the game was a huge blow to NZL. The boys fought hard and didn’t give up for a second. So proud for coming the 4th in the U19 world tournament for the first time. The future of NZ basketball is bright and can’t wait for the NCAA season to start.

FIBA U19 World cup NZL VS USA highlights.

Tough outcome for NZL. Good to give Jackson Ball that experience for him to carry to his future Tall Blacks career. Great to see Halaifonua back to normal after not playing since December last year.

Shout out to Josha Wyllie for putting some points on the board this tournament.
