Leroy Loggins Biography

Leroy Loggins is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on December 20, 1957 in New Brunswick, Canada. Leroy Loggins (born 20 December 1957) is an Australian or American former professional player in basketball who was a part of the National Basketball League from 1981 to 2001. Loggins is originally from his native United States, is a naturalized Australian citizen. He is widely believed to be the greatest import ever to compete within the NBL and is second only to Australian Basketball legend Andrew Gaze (the NBL’s all-time top scoring player) being the league’s most outstanding ever player.

He joined his team, the West Adelaide Bearcats in the 1982 NBL season, joining players such as coach-captain and league’s first-ever Most Valuable player Ken Richardson, Australian Boomers veterans Peter Ali and Ray Wood and South Bronx-born guard and guard and 1982 NBL MVP Al Green. The Bearcats were the only team to win their NBL Championship defeating the Geelong Supercats 80-74 in the Grand Final in Newcastle. While the team did not have an NBL Grand Final MVP named in 1982, Loggins was named player of the match , being the top scorer in the game with 32 points. He was also chosen for make his debut All NBL First team.

1985 would see Loggins win his second and the Bullets win their first NBL championship when they defeated the Adelaide 36ers 121–95 in the Grand Final played on their home court at the Sleeman Sports Centre in Brisbane. Again there was no Grand Final MVP awarded that year, but Loggins was in top form again and was voted player of the game with a game high score of 41 points. Loggins form saw him selected to his fourth straight All NBL First team.

The Bullets moved from the 2,700-seat Chandler Arena into the larger, 13,500-capacity Brisbane Entertainment Centre in 1986 and Leroy Loggins won his second NBL MVP award that year, leading the Bullets to a second-place finish on the regular season ladder behind 36ers. They would again face Adelaide in the Grand Final with the NBL extending the final from a one-game playoff to a three-game series from 1986. Game 1 of the series was at the Entertainment Centre where a then Australian indoor attendance record crowd of over 11,000 was set, including celebrities such as international cricketers Greg Chappell and Ian Botham. After getting into foul trouble in the second period and having to sit most of it on the bench, Loggins helped fire a Bullets comeback in the 3rd period when he hit his (and Brisbane’s) first 6 shots to help his team draw level at one point after being 14 down at halftime (during his half time talk to his team, Adelaide coach Ken Cole had predicted that Loggins would fire up in the 3rd period). The 36ers steadied though and helped by both Loggins (who scored 38 points) and Larry Sengstock fouling out in the 4th quarter, ran out winners in overtime. Game 2 was at the Apollo Stadium in Adelaide where the 36ers had gone 14–0 during the season. The Bullets shocked the home side with an easy 104–83 win to send the series to a 3rd and deciding game, also in Adelaide. Unfortunately for Loggins and the Bullets, the 36ers reversed the 1985 result winning in the final game 113–91. Ironically, Loggins fouled out of both games 1 and 3, including fouling out only midway through the 3rd period of game 3, and became increasingly frustrated at his lack of opportunities because of the close defence of former Bearcats teammate Peter Ali. Loggins MVP form saw him selected to his fifth straight All NBL First team in 1986.

In his time, Loggins was also selected to several NBL All-Star Games, winning the first MVP awards of two games in 1982 at Apollo Stadium in Adelaide and later in 1988 during the 1988 game at The Glass House in Melbourne. Even though these games took place six years apart, because they did not have an All-Star Game played from 1983-1987 which made Loggins an honor of being the sole player who has won successive NBL All-Star Game MVP awards. He is among the three participants (along along with Andrew Gaze and Darryl McDonald) to be awarded the prize twice.
