What it do?
The 2k11 b-ball draft, for death row, has finally come to
fruition. The testosterone reached high
levels in the barbershop today. The hot
topics were coaches and players.
This season we’ll go with 4 teams instead of 5. Team 1 (Quiet Storm) will be coached by Big
Bo. This will be his second stint as a
head coach. His last employment was in
2008. He coached team “Fast Forward” to
a historical championship appearance.
Only to come up short to a Lil’ Magic within a Dark Cloud. Na mean?
Speaking of “Lil Magic,” he’ll be taking his talents to the
sidelines this season. The injury bug
has been a consistent pest for Lil’ Magic this past offseason. So he’ll take the reins as head coach of team
2 (Chaos) this year.
Coaching team 3 (Hustle) will be the savvy veteran coach,
Smoke Digga. His last championship run
was in 2007 with the high powered, Undertakerz.
Team 4 (Silver Backs) will be led by 1st time head coach,
Lil’ Chris. We’ll see if he can ignite
the beast within his “Silver Backs.” Ya heard?
The first 3 picks of this year’s draft came as no
surprise. Big Bo took the “All
Everything” of last season’s “Bringing the Heat” tournament, “The Phenom,” with
the number 1 pick. Lil Magic selected
“Silk Money” at number 2. Smoke-Digga
initiated an “Undertakerz” reunion when he selected “J-Rock” at number 3.
The surprise pick in this year’s draft was the rookie big
man, “SunChild.” Lil’ Chris chose the
rookie’s lingth and rebounding prowess over two former defensive players of the
year recipients as well as the always emphatic big man, known as “The
Carpenter.”
Lil’ Magic and his team, Chaos have employed the services of
“The Carpenter” this season. There’s no
question “The Carpernter” will be tightening his tool belt and marking the
dates his team Chaos will face the Silver Backs. That’s what’s up!
“Concrete Soul” is the title for this season’s b-ball
festivities. Hopefully we’ll play 3 days
a week. If so, the top of the week will
be known as the “Bassline” session.
Scripted by yours truly. Mr. Blue
will handle the Mid-Week Special, (The Blue View), and I’ll close out the week
with the “Chorus” session. Aight?
This season may be special for some and it might be a
migraine for others, but remember this:
The best teammate is someone who takes responsibility for the energy
they bring to a particular space. Feed
on that b-ballers.
Until next time, I’m out like the 43rd president.
Stay Up,
MannofStat
