Breakers' new recruits treated to Pacific welcome in visit to South Auckland school

September 5, 2019

The Pacific Advance Secondary School in Otahuhu played host to the Breakers.

The Breakers' new recruits were treated to a welcome they'll never forget today - special guests at Otahuhu's Pacific Advance Secondary School.

The five newest members of the Breakers squad, all new to New Zealand for the upcoming NBL season, were treated to a taste of Pacific culture.

"It's been a great welcome," star recruit RJ Hampton said.

"I didn't expect this big of a welcome, but I'm glad that we got to do this today.

"Especially with my teammates that just arrived, it was fun."

All Blacks legend Sir Michael Jones is a member of the school's board, crediting the Breakers for paying the students a visit.

"The power of sport is that it inspires, it transforms and empowers," Sir Michael told 1 NEWS.

"The greatest gift that RJ and those Breakers boys gave today was exactly that."
