B-ballers,
What’s crackin’? Various forms of legal injustice have captivated the eyes and ears of the masses these last few weeks. The courts are in turmoil and the crime lab has gone under the microscope, but when the sun found its place in the sky today, your MannofStat was compelled to talk about some justice on the court. Na mean?
Coach Cagle’s, a.k.a “Slick Rick”, team Gatlins faced Coach Kenny “Bird Man” Neal’s team “Mayhem” for the 1st matchup of the day. The longest individual rivalry in the history of our league, between Marcus “Phenom” Mitchell and Phillip “Lil Magic” Davis has given us nothing less than another prolific chapter to record for the ages. But, the pulse of Martin “Heart-N-Soul” Richardson is making a strong argument for a legacy of his own. Ya heard?
The “Gatlins” were led by “Lil Magic’s” 32 points (4treys), 9 rebounds, 4assists, 5thefts and 1 monster swat. His 10pts and 2stls in the final 1:30 turned a nail biter into a double digit win. Heart-N-Soul complemented this magical performance with 22 points (5/6 from the stripe), 11 boards, 1assist, 1steal and 1 block, including a clutch trey with 6:40 to play, that gave team Gatlins the lead for good.
This pairing of Lil Magic and Heart-N-Soul is guaranteed to generate some sick play from two of the league’s record holders. Lil’ Magic is the only player to record a triple/double (3) and Heart-N-Soul holds the record for most steals in a game (9). My diagnosis? They both suffer from SBI (Superior Baller’s Intellect). Feel Me?
Phenom led team Mayhem with 32 points (6/11 from the stripe), 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. His teammate Stacey “Scoop” Tyler, chipped in with 13 points, 12 boards, 1assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. They owned a 28-25 lead going into the break, but Lil’ Magic’s 24 second half points proved to be too much for team Mayhem to overcome. The Gatlins prevailed 65-54.
Team Roughnex coached by Michael “Big Bank” Braxton had an impressive opening day. On the other side of the ball, it was a nightmare for Coach Terrence “T.C.” Campbell’s “The Realest” squad. Team Roughnex outrebounded The Realest, 46-33. Fifteen of those going to the Roughnex man in the middle, Mitchell “Chubsta” Holmes, a.k.a “The Carpenter.”
But, this game was all about the reunion of “TNT,” Eddie “E-Smoove” Taylor and Rodney “Bucktown” Taylor. These two ballers were members of the winless 2007 “Foreclosure” squad. This 2010 season has already proved to be a new day for this explosive duo. Bucktown has plenty to say. His stat line spoke volumes: 17 point (11 in the 2nd half), 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
First team All-World selection, E-Smoove tallied 22 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block to lead the Roughnex to a lopsided, 73-36 victory. They outscored The Realest 47-18 in the 2nd half. TNT put it down like a D.A. with a tainted jury. The court was at their mercy. Ya heard?
The Realest were led by James “Silk Money” Little’s 13 points (5/10 from the stripe), 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Warren “Pit Bull” Gregory tallied 10 boards, 3 assists, 5 steals and 1block.
Today’s events were calamine lotion to cure my b-ball itch. I’ll continue to keep your feet to the fire. So stay tuned for more of “Bringing the Heat.” I’ll see you at the table.
Nuff said,
