Sign of the Twine: Monumental Exhibition

B-ballers,  

What it do?

Allen Iverson, a.k.a. “The Answer” was honored before the tip-off of last night’s critical game 6, between my Sixers and the Boston Celtics.  The Answer has a connection with the Philly fanfare that makes him a staple in Sixers’ history.  In my opinion, history adds flavor to the relevancy of the present.  Na mean?

Today’s b-ball assembly was predicated on history . For the first time in the history of our league, death row b-ball will be officiated by our own, FUBU.  Ya heard?  Big Bank, Lil’ Magic and The Diesel are 3 ballers who know a little something about chasing the chip (7 championships between them since 2006).  Taking the court today – as the officiating crew – for the 2012 season, is proof that the brainchild of Earl J. Richmond, a.k.a. “The Blueprint” (D.O.E. 5/6/2005), continues to evolve.  Feel me?

First year coach and team Dynasty alumnus, J-Rock won this year’s draft lottery.  His first pick was 1^st team All-World selection, The Phenom.  With a strong supporting cast, the team, “Runnin Rebels, is my preseason pick to win the chip, but your MannofStat has been wrong before.

Team “Sky High” challenged the Runnin Rebels in today’s initial scrimmage.  Coached by the Bird Man, team Sky High will have the services of 2^nd year big man, SunChild and the luxury of snagging last season’s top 6^th man/ Most Improved Player, Frost.

The 2^nd scrimmage featured the reigning M.V.P / Defensive Player of the Year, Heart-N-Soul.  He was the top pick (2^nd overall) for coach Tariq’s Funky Technicians.  Hopefully, their season will be as entertaining as the classic Lord Finesse hip-hop album of the mid 90’s (The Funky Technician).  That’s what’s up!

Coach T.C. will coach team Regulators.  His top pick, Silk Money (3^rd overall) was unable to attend today’s scrimmage against Funky Technicians.  The Bigg Dogg and rookie big man, “B-dot” will have to set the pace for team Regulators until the 1^st team All-World selection and my preseason pick for M.V.P. returns.

Today’s officiating was better than average.  The stripes will fine tune any game management discrepancies before next week’s season opener.  The surest method of achieving accuracy is repetition.  We’ll all get better as “The Sign of the Twine” progresses.  Ya heard?

Be Easy,

MannofStat
