Basketball: Tall Blacks' chance encounter with Fleetwood Mac

The Tall Blacks have had a welcome surprise at their training camp in Sydney, after being unable to train at Qudos Arena due to a Fleetwood Mac concert.

The side took a punt and invited the band to join them at their own training down the road and they're still stunned by the band's response.

It all started after the team was unable to train at Qudos Arena, because the famous band had their own warm-ups planned there.

So the team left a note inviting them to Tall Blacks training and Fleetwood Mac were only too happy to oblige.

But what they thought was merely a meet-and-greet turned into free tickets for the team to their Sydney concert.

It was a welcome distraction from their build-up to next month's World Cup in China, which has so far been dominated by warm-up games and trainings.

The Tall Blacks hope their luck extends to their upcoming series with Canada.
