		Mark Bradtke's journey to Greece may have been a costly excursion, but the Tigers have welcomed him back with open arms.
		Mark Bradtke left Melbourne on September 12 after signing a contract worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to join Olympiakos, one of Greece's basketball powers.
		He was told Bradtke would have to make way for Mrsic's replacement - the club could not get a European for the spot, so would have to sack an import (the injured Bradtke) and bring in an American.

	Melbourne Tigers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1992 loss demonstrated that the Tigers, despite their 'dynamic duo' of a backcourt in Andrew Gaze and Lanard Copeland, were in desperate need of a quality big man. This search ended in the next off-season, with the Tigers acquiring arguably the best big man in Australian Basketball history in Mark Bradtke.
		With a 3-11 start to the season, after sacking import Jarvis Lang and having to deal with a mid season return from Mark Bradtke after time in the NBA, many commentators wrote off the Tigers.
		Their streak was only broken during game 2 of the Finals against the Magic, with Brian Goorijan finally deciding to play his style of grind-out defensive basketball rather than trying to get into the Tigers free flowing style.

		At the half it was Mark Bradtke who had done most the damage for Melbourne with 15 points, for Wollongong it was Glen Saville and Ben Pepper with 11 each who had played best.
		Bradtke played most of the game and was Melbourne's best player, however when Pepper was on him he had the edge (oh so slightly!).
		Mark Bradtke (MEL) - As mentioned previously Mark Bradtke was the Tigers' best player, scoring a game-high 23 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in 45:01.

		Brisbane had their transition game on song with guard Mick Hill prominent; in contrast it was the outstanding play of Knight keeping the Kings in touch as he blasted a quick 7 points, and it was a 16-16 tie with just five minutes gone.
		Brisbane’s strategy in their halfcourt offence was evident right from the get-go – establish behemoth centre Mark Bradtke in the low post and get him the ball as often as possible.
		Bradtke showed his frustration early in the final quarter with a blatant push on CJ and the game started to get extremely physical.

		Bradtke, 37 this month, retired from international basketball after the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
		But he said Bradtke had previously indicated in talks following his retirement from international basketball that he would be prepared to answer an SOS on a one-off basis.
		With the NBL season finishing two weeks before the Games, he would not have to go to extra lengths to get fit and there is the lure of being part of the first Commonwealth Games basketball tournament in a city he has spent much of his life in.

		Veteran centre Mark Bradtke may be called upon to solve Boomers coach Brian Goorjian's big man problems at next year's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
		Bradtke retired from international basketball after the Sydney Olympics in 2000, but told the Australian coach that he may be prepared to help out the team if required.
		Andrew Bogut, Luke Schenscher, Matt Nielsen and Wade Helliwell are all set to miss the Melbourne event due to NBA and European club commitments and Goorjian feels there may be a lack of quality talls from which to draw upon in the home-based brigade.

	Man mountain Bradtke stands between Pigs and Melbourne success - smh.com.au
		Mark Bradtke is the mountainous man in the middle of the Melbourne Tigers line-up, and West Sydney coach Gordie McLeod knows that to beat the Tigers, you have to stop Bradtke.
		"There's no question that putting the brakes on Mark Bradtke is a huge part of what we have to do to have some success," McLeod said of the clash in Melbourne tonight.
		The Tigers might be without Drewey [Andrew Gaze, who is out through illness], but they are still very strong, have won their past four games, and we have to slow that free-flowing game which they love to play.

		A red-hot Mark Bradtke was the catalyst for the victory, a 23-point return from the towering centre was complimented by an impressive support cast, with Andrew Gaze, Lanard Copeland and the returning Dave Thomas all posting double figures.
		Pirates’ coach Adrian Hurley’s ongoing battle with the referees seemed in vain as the Tigers moved further ahead, and when the silky Thomas drilled a breathtaking turnaround jumper with seven minutes to go, the tempo of the game died out as the margin stretched to a massive 27 points.
		After the disappointment of losing to Wollongong, Gaze Snr was suitably pleased to see his side keep a grip on sixth spot, and especially pleased with the form of Mark Bradtke.

		Bradtke has consistently been one of the NBL’s top players since joining the Tigers in 1993 and has made the All-NBL First Team for the past four seasons straight.
		The importance of Bradtke to the team was underlined when back-up centre Nathan Taylor was sidelined with stress fractures, forcing the man they call ‘Hogey’ to more often than not play the full 48 minutes.
		Bradtke’s Herculean efforts helped drive the Tigers deep into the playoffs, where they upset the top-of-the-table Titans in the first round and came within a game of advancing to the Grand Final series before their season ended at the hands of the West Sydney Razorbacks.

		This rivalry largely stems from the switch by Mark Bradtke to the Tigers (from the 36ers) at the end of the 1992 season, inciting the wrath of 36ers fans.
		MARK Price, South Dragons' preferred coach for their National Basketball League debut, joked that he might have to look into league rules about being a player-coach.

	Bradtke rules under basket - www.theage.com.au
		It is fitting, however, that the old will see in the new in Adelaide - Davis played all of his 482 games with Adelaide and Bradtke played his first 118 with the 36ers, alongside the "chairman", before joining Melbourne Tigers, where he has added 319 matches and taken his rebound count to 5197.
		Bradtke suggests he has a few seasons left provided his body does not give way to all the bumping and grinding that goes on under the basket, the toughest place to play on the court.
		Bradtke also said Davis's record already should be his - he had 18 rebounds in a win over the 36ers in 1997, but the result and individual statistics did not count because Bradtke's clearance had not been approved on his return from a season with the National Basketball Association's Philadelphia 76ers.

		The bookies' rating of a Bullets side boasting much more depth and power, but with several veteran players, was verified this week by the NBL's latest players' choice poll, which also canvassed a number of other individual categories.
		Brisbane import Bobby Brannen, who came in second to Bradtke as the hardest to defend in the keyway, was also named the most intimidating player to go up against.
