B-ballers,
What it do?
Welcome to Championship Monday. The “Gatlins” (12-5) are coming off of a monumental victory. In game 1, they snapped the 13-game winning streak of the mighty “Mayhem” (14-2). Putting themselves in a position for a classical game 2 match up, but their well of optimism ran dry over the weekend.
From Tuesday (10/19), to Friday (10/22), our playoffs became an autobiography for the “Monster Ballers.”
Chapter 1: “The Phenom” in pursuit of his 2nd title in 4 years.
Chapter 2: “Heart-N-Soul” is the Defensive Player of the Year. He becomes a lock for playoff M.V.P if the Gatlins win the chip.
Chapter 3: The explosive combination of “TNT” is now in a position to attain their long time goal of winning a championship together.
Chapter 4: “Billy Ho” blanks in game 1 of the championship. He scores a playoff career high 20 points in an upset victory over the top seeded “Mayhem.”
Chapter 5: “MannofStat” O.D.’d on b-ball euphoria. “Mr. Blue” takes the helm and writes a special edition of “The Blue View.”
Chapter 6: “Billy Ho” and “E-Smoove” are ruled ineligible for game 2 of the finals.
Chapter 7: Coach “Slick Rick” suits up for his undermanned “Gatlins.” He gives them 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block, coming off the bench.
Chapter 8: The “Gatlins” led by 9 at the half, but “Mayhem” started the 2nd half with a 17-3 run, and it was official. The “Gatlins” were out of ammunition.
Chapter 9: “The Phenom” completes his playoff run with another championship. He is also the league’s scoring champ. The regular season M.V.P and now, the playoff M.V.P. Monster ballin,’ indeed. Ya heard?
Chapter 10: “MannofStat” closes the books on another productive season.
Acknowledgements:
I wanna thank all of the ballers. Without your participation, there would be no tournament. Special shout to “Psycho.” You could’ve passes on this tournament, due to your severe foot injury, but you kept on swinging and made it back for the playoffs. Now you and your squad, “Mayhem,” reign supreme as the Death Row B-Ball champs of 2010. That’s what’s up!
To the best stat team ever, Mr. Blue, El Indio, and Froggy-Frogg. I couldn’t have done it without you. Your support has made me a better MannofStat. The scorer’s table is a clear scope due to your presence. Thank you.
Father Time, Geezy, Diesel and Heart-N-Soul, good look with the paint job. If I forgot to tell you, I’m telling you now. You did a magnificent job. The fresh paint added a little something to our b-ball swag. Real talk.
I appreciate the rec staff giving us another opportunity to prove we aren’t the worst of the worst. For a minute, this year’s tournament was touch and go, but once again, we’ve proven that our tournament can be a beacon for positivity. No matter how fierce the negativity that surrounds us, may be. Feel me?
In closing, I gotta give it up for my man, “The Phenom.” Congrats on your best season ever, Dunn. You closed out the season with 24 points (14 in the 2nd half), 10 boards, 4 dimes, and 2 steals. Your playoff averages of 31 points (124 total), 9 rebounds 2.1 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks, were phenomenal indeed. 2010 will be known as the season of “The Phenom.” No doubt. Mayhem defeated the Gatlins 60-40.
I hate to say it’s over, but it is what it is. Your MannofStat has left the table, but our memories will go on and on like a rolling stone. Word is bond!
I’m out like a convict on parole.
The End,
MannofStat
