Alright, so I wanted to get a list of all the Australian players in the NBA. You know, just for fun, to see who’s representing Down Under on the big stage. I figured it couldn’t be that hard, right?
Step 1: The Obvious – Google Search
First things first, I fired up Google. I mean, that’s where you start everything these days, isn’t it? I typed in something like “australian nba basketball players” and hit enter. Boom! Tons of results, as expected.
Step 2: Sifting Through the Results
Okay, so Google gave me a bunch of links. Some were news articles, some were Wikipedia pages, and some were just random lists. I started clicking through, trying to find a good, comprehensive list. Honestly, it was a bit of a mess. One site would have, like, five names, another would have ten, and they wouldn’t always agree.
Key takeaway: Multiple sources are important, don’t just trust one!
Step 3: Getting Specific
I decided to get more specific. I tried adding “current” to my search, like “current australian nba basketball players”. This helped a bit, weeding out some of the older, retired players. I also started looking specifically for official NBA pages or well-known sports websites, figuring they’d be more reliable.
Step 4: Cross-Referencing Like a Boss
This is where it got a little tedious, but it was necessary. I basically opened a bunch of tabs – Wikipedia, a couple of sports news sites, even the NBA’s official site. Then I started cross-referencing the names. If a player showed up on multiple reliable sources, I added them to my own little list. If they only appeared on one random blog, I was a bit more skeptical.
- Started with simple Google searches.
- Refined my search terms.
- Opened multiple tabs (Wikipedia, sports news sites, NBA official site).
- Compared lists across different websites.
Step 5: Making My Own List
Finally, I had a pretty solid list. I used NotePad app to keep things * isn’t perfect, and there might be some debate about one or two players, but it’s way better than what I started with.
So, that’s how I did it. A bit of searching, a bit of clicking, and a lot of comparing. It wasn’t rocket science, but it took a little effort to get a decent result. I found it very interesting!
