New Zealand has been on the podium each time basketball has featured at the Commonwealth Games and a group of young men and women are chasing more medals in England this month.
The final athletes for next month's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham have been selected with the announcement of the New Zealand men's and women's 3x3 basketball teams.
New Zealand were the first 3x3 basketball world champions but missing a pinnacle event last year was a blow the successful programme needs to bounce back from.
A "game-changing" revamp of the women's National Basketball League (NBL) will bring pay equity, top tier talent and better prepare the Tall Ferns for international competition.
