B-Ballers,
What it do?
Your local ballaholic was back at the table for the 2nd day in a row. Third session this week and let me tell you, the b-ball intensity has got me higher than Rush Limbaugh, after a refilled prescription. Ya heard?
I hope you enjoyed the mid-week special, “The Blue View.” My man Mr. Blue will be showcasing his skills throughout this season. He offers another vantages point to the on court artistry we all witness. When my head is in the books, Mr. Blue’s eyes are on the court. He’s a much welcomed addition to the table and his b-ball logistics will only get better as the season progresses. That’s what’s up!
In game 1, coach Ricky “Slick Rick” Cagle was going for his 21st straight victory, dating back to the 2008 season of “Summer Madness.” His (2-0) Gatlins faced “The Realest” (0-1). The Gatlins started off tight. They trailed early, 5-2. After a timeout, Martin “Heart-N-Soul” Richardson led a 8-0 surge that left “The Realest” in a state of quandary. There was no remedy to stop the bleeding. Phillip “Lil’ Magic” Davis, Darrell “Billy Ho” Maness and “Heart-N-Soul” all tallied 21 points each, which proved to be a good omen for coach Slick Rick. The 73-49 lashing of The Realest improved his squad’s record to 3-0. His winning streak now stands at 21. Real talk.
Lil’ Magic capped his week of b-ball wizardly with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 7 feeds and 4 thefts. Billy-Ho contributed 21 points (career high), 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, but the unsung hero for team Gatlins was Linwood “Tool Man” Forte. This new addition to our b-ball fam brought the tool shed to the court. Resiliently inhaling 15 boards and tallying 2 assists, 2steals and 1 block. Understanding his role and giving maximum effort is what our tournament is all about, feel me?
The Realest got the realest effort from 2nd team All-World selection James “Silk Money” Little, III. He tallied 11points, 15 boards (career best), 6 feeds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Shawn “The General” Bonnett added 13 points (3 treys), 4 rebounds, 4 dimes, 1 steal and 1 block. Bryan “Scrappy” Bell had 15 points .
In game 2, Marcus “Phenom” Mitchell blanked for 39 points (5/9 from the stripe), 13 boards and 2 steals. Capping his opening week with averages of 35 points, 3 steals and 7 rebounds. The league’s most prolific scorer has donned the royal #23 jersey his last 2 games. His efforts of 34 and 39 points is evidence that the “Royal Airness” has made an everlasting impression on our Doctor of b-ball surgery. Na mean?
Jeremy “J-Rock” Murrell returned to the court for team Elixir. His contributions were 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Chris “Bigg Dogg” Gregory and Paul “Pablo” Cummings combined for 14 points, 12 boards, 6 dimes, 4 steals and 2 blocks, but it wasn’t enough as Phenom and Stacey “Scoop” Tyler proved to be too much, down the stretch, for team Elixir. Scoop finished with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Team Mayhem prevailed, 54-39.
Phenom, Lil’ Magic, E-Smoove and Bucktown made strong arguments for Player of the Week, but the unanimous choice at the table was none other than, Heart-N-Soul. In 3 games this week, he tallied 66 points, 10 feeds, 9 thefts and 2 blocks. His ever-so-crafty ability to get to the cup has been the difference maker for team Gatlins. Martin “Heart-N-Soul” Richardson has come from behind the curtain, to bring the show to the people, the epitome of “Bringing the Heat.” Word is bond!
