The 1993 NBL season was the 12th season of the National Basketball League. Hutt Valley won the championship in 1993 to claim their second league title.[1] Head coach Jeff Green guided Hutt Valley over Canterbury in the final with Peter Pokai hitting the game-winning jumper. It was a special triumph for Green, who was sensationally sacked by the team early in the season, but brought back with seven games to go.[2]
