It's time to find out who the Goat player of the Phoenix is from our players past and present, decided by you!

We're onto the final four players to find out who the PHOENIX GOAT is.

The first semi-final match up is between best mates, Mitch Creek and Adam Gibson.

MITCH CREEK

Games: 143 | PPG: 20.5 | RPG: 6.6 | APG: 3.0 | SPG: 1.0

Mitch Creek has dominated his time at the Phoenix. The first-ever signing for the NBL’s ninth franchise after a stint in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves, Creek hit the ground running and never looked back.

The Horsham product has won each of the five Phoenix MVP awards, been named to the All-NBL First Team and Second Team (twice) and leads every overall stat category for the club.

Already with 197 games of NBL experience under his belt before he reached the Heartland, Creek made an immediate impact and led the team to their first playoffs appearance in just their second year of existence.

ADAM GIBSON

Games: 46 | PPG: 4.9 | RPG: 1.8 | APG: 1.6 | SPG: 0.5

A veteran of more than 350 NBL games before he’d even donned a Phoenix jersey, Adam Gibson brought experience and championship-winning pedigree to a clean-slate roster.

While not at his most prolific, Gibson still had spurts of brilliance for the Phoenix and with the game on the line was often the one that would be entrusted to take the big shot. Provided great guidance to South East Melbourne players still on the roster and has an enviable highlight reel.
