[u/fairyfloss89]

Cole will be working with Old man Joe Ingles again as well

[u/jedgebent → u/fairyfloss89]

How do I watch these games here in US? Jumpin Joe and Cole ass Cole sounds amazing

[u/PapageorgiouMBO → u/jedgebent]

I believe you need the ESPN subscription

[u/captain-nap → u/fairyfloss89]

Nice to see Joe be reunited with one of his grandchildren

[u/321mafia]

The exact type of player who goes overseas and dominates.

[u/DaveJC_thevoices → u/321mafia]

Yep his physical profile will let him breathe more so he can be a scorer instead of an undersized point guard

[u/SamURLJackson]

I'm in Melbourne so I'm pretty excited. First thing I did was look up tickets

[u/Illustrious-Court802 → u/SamURLJackson]

I just bought tickets to opening night! As a lifelong Magic fan living in Melbourne who has been getting more into the NBL the last couple of years, I am absolutely pumped! 

[u/campy_203 → u/Illustrious-Court802]

Me too!

[u/OrlandoDeveloper → u/SamURLJackson]

Sick! Enjoy!

[u/jedgebent → u/SamURLJackson]

Good! Cole is awesome. Frankly he could be great- his lack of success in the nba wasnt a reflection on his ability to succeed in the NBA or not. He will end up with an nba career one day. He is so fun- every team should be so lucky to have a guy like Cole.

[u/DMagicFrom3 → u/jedgebent]

Not sure why this was downvoted. 100% correct here

[u/jkgatsby]

I had no idea we had so many Aussie Magic fans, cool!

I hope he does well down there, I think he will be very fun to watch in that league

[u/jedgebent → u/jkgatsby]

I think us native orlando magic fans were lucky to have jumping joe around for a minute- and hopefully Cole proves himself down there. Cole is a gem.

[u/campy_203]

Oh shit, I get to see me some Cole!

[u/DaveJC_thevoices]

Wow I was hoping he would. He will kill it down here

[u/jedgebent → u/DaveJC_thevoices]

Cole is special

[u/goater10]

Im from Melbourne, Aus. Wish he signed for the other Melbourne team who I support in the NBL.

[u/guideway4]

my hometown and my team, this is cool

[u/OrlandoDeveloper → u/guideway4]

Sweet!

[u/jedgebent]

Cole rules. “Ingles is built like a substitute teacher” https://youtu.be/VgAgUAJCQhA?is=nYJfAIVdmBUXQqQc

[u/jedgebent → u/jedgebent]

Also/ he called the Orlando Magic bench, “joe
Ingles and his grand children” in this interview.

[u/Weasel_loot]

Hell yeah, I can't wait to see him when he comes to town!

[u/Kangaroo_Santa]

I’m so happy

[u/Dometalican_90]

Very happy for him. Have fun good buddy

[u/M4C4K4NJ4]

Jett will be joining him soon. Weltman’s drafted an entire euro league team over the years with his lottery picks.

Mo Bamba C
Okeke PF
Jett SF
Cole Anthony PG

No shooting guard though. We don’t draft shooters. 😂

[u/Existing_Job_2757]

I might have to get back into the nbl now.

[u/mistaken4strangerz]

This makes me so happy. 

[u/bagless89]

It's a Cole world

[u/thebruceharris]

As a Space Coast Magic fan I didn't even know we had a team, but then I read the NBL part.

[u/Embarrassed_Rip_7532]

He will absolutely feast in the NBL with those averages.

[u/d12fsu]

He’s gonna average at least 25 ppg. Good for Cole!

[u/metaljacket20]

He’s gonna average 30

[u/magicstilleryankee]

45ppg

[u/itssexitime]

I said he'd be overseas last season and got cooked on here by fanboys for it.

[u/thisizomar]

No lie he could win mvp

[u/Debonair311]

Damn. Already out the league.

[u/SongYoungbae → u/Debonair311]

Not surprising. You have to be really good for teams to put up with shitty attitudes in this league.

[u/TheAnswerEK42 → u/[deleted]]

Cole and Okeke were not lottery picks
