File: 2023004-0036
Bristol Flyers vs London Lions, British Basketball League (BBL) game on Sunday 2nd April 2023, at SGS WISE Arena, New Road, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, during the 2022-23 season.
About the photographs.
Here, we have the Bristol Flyers players doing warming up before the start of their home game against the London Lions.
The kit they wear is not the actual jersey and shorts they play in, those shirts are simply put on over their actual jersey.
In the first photograph (0030), we have one of the players warming himself up by doing some dunks, while other players watch and wait for their turn.
In the next photo (0036), this is one of the Flyers players getting the ball that may have been passed onto him. In the background, you can see the other players doing some kind of jogging as part of the warm up.
The photos were shot with a 50mm lens on the Nikon D200, and taken from my courtside seat.
The game ended with Flyers 87 – 82 Lions, after an extra time due to being tied at the end of the game.
About the teams.
The Bristol Flyers was formed in 2006 by a merger of two former Bristol based teams, the Filton Flyers and the Bristol Academy, to become known as Bristol Academy Flyers. They started in the English Basketball League, in Division 2, and one year later, they moved up to Division 1.
By 2013, they got financial backing from the owner of Bristol City football club. As part of the deal, they moved into the top level franchise based BBL, for the 2014-15 season, that was when they became known simply as Bristol Flyers. Their highest finish in BBL was 4th place during the 2021-22 season.
London Lions actually started out as Hemel Hempstead Laker in 1977, and changed their name to Hemel Royals before moving to Watford, and finally moved to Milton Keynes.
They became known as Milton Keynes Lions, and that was when their performance improved, including winning the BBL Cup during the 2007-08 season.
By 2012, due to losing their home arena in Milton Keynes, they were relocated to London, thus renamed as the London Lions.
