    152 games and out for one of New Zealand's greatest basketballers

    152 games and out for one of New Zealand's greatest basketballers


    Mika Vukona has announced his retirement from international basketball after making 152 test appearances for the Tall Blacks across a career spanning 16 years.

    His last game was New Zealand's loss to Australia in Cairns, where he captained a hugely inexperienced side which featured 10 debutants.

    Vukona says he's enjoyed his career but he's done.
