Speakers
Phil Smyth | Four-time Olympian
Phil Smyth AM was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1997 as an Athlete Member for his contribution to the sport of basketball.
For almost two decades Smyth was as much a part of the Australian men’s basketball team as its green and gold uniform. He has been a significant contributor to the development of the sport in Australia, setting a standard that has assisted in establishing Australia at an international level. Having played 346 senior games for Australia, Smyth can lay claim to have played more games for Australia than any other male basketballer.
From his first game for the Boomers in 1977 through to the 1994 World Championships, Smyth played a major role in guiding the steady rise of the Boomers through the world rankings and was team captain of 14 years between 1981 – 1994. During that time he led the Boomers through four Olympic Games and five World Championships.
Smyth’s dynamic impact on his sport flowed through into Australia’s National Basketball League where his contribution was also outstanding. In a career of 356 NBL games, he scored 4980 points at an average of 14 per game. He is number four on the all time free throw percentage list, number three on the all time list of assists, and number two for steals. Phil was captain of the Canberra Cannons when they won back-to-back NBL titles in 1983 and 1984, then again for a third championship in 1988. He’s a six-time NBL All Star and was voted the League’s best defensive player in 1988 and 1989.
Regarded as one of the greatest basketballers Australia has produced, Phil Smyth has been a pioneer of what is one of the most popular and ever expanding sports in Australia. He has set standards on and off the court and boasts one of the longest and most illustrious careers in Australian basketball.
