| 9 a.m. Global Gym vs. Freestyle |
Relics vs. Outkast |
10 a.m. Relics vs. Outkast Connection | ||
|
PREVIEW:
The defending Champions, Global Gym, and Freestyle
are both riding a one game winning streak. Global Gym's
PJ Marte is leading his team in scoring at 13 ppg
while Steven Watts is leading Freestyle with 12
ppg. Finals MVP, Mike Villa, is averaging 10.5 ppg
and 6.5 rpg for the season. He is hoping to lead his
team above .500. Freestyle's Team Captain Holden
Williams witnessed his friends from Swish lose to
Global Gym last week in a rout. Will he earn bragging
rights by defeating the defending Champs this week? Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: No Mike Villa, No Lalo Arroyo, No Mas. Freestyle defeats the defending Champs, 48-39. |
|
10 a.m. Gold Division |
  Aldrin Medina |
PREVIEW:
Both teams are capable of winning the Division and
they certainly have the personnel to do so. However,
both teams have been inconsistent and the Relics
(1-2) should have a better record. Outkast (2-1)lost for
the first time in Week 3 against Deep Penetration.
Relics is leading the Division in steals with 32 whereas
Outkast Connection is leading in free-throw attempts
with 35. Outkast's Aldrin Medina is ahead in
free-throw attempts with 14 while Relics' Andrew
Knox is tied for 1st in steals with 8. Look for him to
steal this game away from Outkast. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Outkast Connection outlasts Relics and they are now 3-1 after beating Relics in a heartbreak, 60-59. |
| 12 p.m. Xplosion vs. #1 Stunners | Xplosion vs. #1 Stunners | 11 a.m. Abstract vs. Thrillers | ||
|
PREVIEW:
#1 Stunners have had their eye on the #1 spot ever
since day one. Xplosion has owned the top spot since
Week 2 and Stunners PF, Alex Ivezaj, has been
anxious at the opportunity. "It's about time we
played a good team! We should beat all these teams by
like 20 points or more! " They face the Division's #1
and #4 leading scorer in Adrian Camarena (20.3
ppg) and Victor Corella (16.3 ppg). Stunners'
Terrence Taylor said it best last week in their game
against DSK, "We're here to win, stats don't matter...pshhh..."
They need to pay attention to Team Captain Martin
Camarena, and he leads the team in assists with 7.
The Player of the Week has proven he is willing to
adjust his game in order for his team to win. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: There's a new #1 and Xplosion loses to #1 Stunners, 54-39. Alex Ivezaj nearly delivers on his promise and he scored 16 points in the triumph. |
|
12 p.m. Platinum Division |
  Alex Ivezaj |
PREVIEW:
Abstract started the season strong by defeating
Phenoms but now has a two-game losing streak after losing
to Western Conference powers, Angkor Wat and Relics.
Their slide pits them against another losing team, Thrillers,
which had a very dismal showing last week. "You guys
need to cut to the basket and screen for each other,"
advised an opposing Team Captain. On a bright side,
their PF Melvin Watkins is developing into a shot
blocker and he's tied for 3rd with Abstract's Ruffy Singh.
They both have a total of 3 blocks. On a side
note, Avengers is the only team to lose to Thrillers, a
memory Team Captain Francis Pascual is trying to
erase. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Thrillers proved last season's win over Avengers/Abstract was no fluke as they narrowly beat Abstract, 31-27. |
| 2 p.m. Dynasty vs. Swish | Aztecs vs. Team Dime | 1 p.m. Phenoms vs. B-LO-DA-RIM | ||
|
PREVIEW: Dynasty
and Swish are both at the bottom of the Platinum
Division at 0-2. It will be a block party with Swish
leading the Division in blocks with 9. Jon Lee is
leading all players in blocks with a total of 5 swats. Last
season, both Dynasty's Ryan Smith (8) and Ryan Maine
(7) finished #3 and #4 respectively in that category. It
will be a rematch of last season's 1st Round and it was
Dynasty that eliminated Swish from the Playoffs. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Swish wins a see-saw game against Dynasty, 61-60. Dynasty once again played with only 5 players and have yet to show their full squad this season. |
|
5 p.m. Gold Division |
|
PREVIEW:
Phenoms won their first game of the season courtesy
of Elements while B-LO-DA-RIM won their first game in
Week 3 against Thrillers. Phenoms SG, Ryan Francisco,
is tied for 2nd in three-pointers with 11 while B-LO-DA-RIM's
Team Captain Lawrence Pelagio is tied for 5th
with a total of 7. The middle will be heavily crowded
with Phenoms' Team Captain Alvin Aguilar matched
up against B-LO's JC Rivera. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: B-LO-DA-RIM's Team Captain Lawrence Pelagio redeemed himself. After missing a buzzer beater against D.P. in Week 2, he hit a game-winner on Phenoms, 44-43. They have now won two in a row. |
| 3 p.m. Game Breakers vs. Bank | Elements vs. BBC | 5 p.m. Aztecs vs. Team Dime | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Game Breakers and Bank are both 1-2 and a win in Week 4
will give the victor a bigger chance at securing a
Playoff spot. Game Breakers have a big chance of winning
the game if it turns out to be a free-throw shooting
contest. They rank 3rd in free-throw shooting 32-for-45
(71.5%) while Bank has the second lowest percentage at
46.7%. Bank's Giyoh Shey leads the team in
scoring at 19 ppg while Game Breakers' Jawayne White
leads the team with 15 ppg. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Key players for Game Breakers were missing and Bank wins two in a row as they upset Game Breakers, 54-35. |
|
6 p.m. Gold Division |
|
PREVIEW:
Gold Division's top two
teams face off in Week 4 and both undefeated teams are
capable of scoring in clusters. Aztecs lead the Gold in
assists with an average of 11 per contest. They also
lead the league in rebounds with 35 rpg and are second
in three-pointers with a total of 20. Team Dime is
loaded with three-point shooters in Matt Stein,
Jon-Jon Bacani, and Team Captain Allan Bacani.
Both teams can shoot from long distance so look for
a high scoring game. RECAP: Suspensions have been issued to both teams for an altercation that occurred early in the 2nd quarter. Team Dime loses to the undefeated Aztecs, 56-47. |
| 4 p.m. Deacons vs. Flight One | Dead End vs Mindstate | 6 p.m. Elements vs. BBC | ||
|
PREVIEW:
Deacons' Center, Mark Moton, is the leading
rebounder at 33 total rebounds and he is hoping his team will
rebound from their first loss against Xplosion in Week
3. He will have to do it against Flight One,
another team that suffered their first loss last week.
Flight One's Center, Marcus Richardson, didn't
live up to expectations against Mindstate's Derrick
DeVan and he's looking for redemption against this
week's
opponent. Flight One will have to step up their defense
since two players from Deacons are in the top 5 in
scoring. Jester Jovan (19 ppg) and Bernard
Roberts (17.7 ppg) are ranked #2 and #3. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Big Centers aren't supposed to shoot outside but that's exactly what Deacons' Mark Moton did hitting 4 three-pointers and they defeat Flight One, 59-50. |
|
7 p.m. Platinum Division |
|
PREVIEW:
Childhood friends take on each other as Kevin Arnold
and Paul Pfeiffer play against each other, only we don't
exactly
know which one Elements' Luke Montilla and BBC's
Andrew Persaud really is. Both Captains were in
the running for Franchise Owner of the Season with Luke
taking the honors last season. Both teams are in the running
again and they are meeting the criteria of what it takes
to be the best Franchise Owner: Victories, fan support,
multimedia pages. With Elements slightly ahead of BBC in
wins and highlight reels, Andrew hopes to influence the
staff with a win over the Elements which is 1-2. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: The knee was a no-go for Team Co-Captain Luke Montilla and the team's leading scorer is out. BBC wins, 61-51, for their first win of the season. |
| 7 p.m. Dead End vs. Mindstate |
|
8 p.m. Angkor Wat vs. Deep Penetration | ||
|
PREVIEW:
The undefeated teams from both the Eastern and
Western Conference will face off in Inter-Conference
competition. Mindstate's Derrick DeVan is
averaging 13 boards a game and has 4 total blocked shots
for the season. He is matched up against Rob Miller,
a strong offensive Center who has yet to be challenged
this season. Both teams have superb guards and the
match-ups are intriguing. EJ Latorre is Dead
End's leading scorer and Mindstate's Allan Bacani
WANTS to guard him. The self-proclaims EJ stopper
has been looking forward to this for 2 weeks. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: Mindstate's Derrick DeVan is making a strong case for MVP scoring 22 points as Mindstate remains undefeating after beating Dead End, 50-47. |
Mindstate's Allan Bacani: "They always have me guarding EJ. Matter of fact, you heard of Kobe stopper, well I'm the EJ stopper." BBC's Andrew Persaud on his childhood rivalry against Elements Luke Montilla: "Luke... I'm the one that taught you to play basketball.... I would drive on you...and you'd always say dam drew you're too good" Luke Montilla: "Sir Drew. You and your fictional nonsense. Billionaire Ball Club?? Here's a quote from our childhood...You better check yo' self before you wreck yo' self." |
PREVIEW:
Angkor Wat has the Gold Division's top two leading
scorers in Khorn Leng (42.5 ppg) and Joseph Flores (34.3 ppg).
The Division's most potent offense is scoring 89 points
per game. Deep Penetration's Jack Moore is the defending
Player of the Week for the Gold Division and he led D.P.
to an improbable victory against Outkast. He is
improving every week averaging 16.3 ppg,
and is leading Deep Penetration in rebounding at 9.3 rpg. Could he lead D.P. to another upset? |
||
| 9 p.m. DSK vs. Foundation | Location |
|
||
|
PREVIEW:
Both teams have had a disappointing start and at
0-2, the winner will finally be rewarded with a victory.
DSK's Richard Hak is doing most of the scoring
for DSK
while Foundation's Mike Teeravatya has provided
the offensive power. DSK has been known for their slow
first half and they are obviously a better second half team
scoring most of their points in the deciding half.
Meanwhile, Foundation has half their team scoring while
the other half is...well
you get the picture. Preview | Game Stats | Recap RECAP: DSK runs with 4 players and Harry Yoo ties the rebounding record with 18 boards. They were out-manned by their opponent as Foundation wins, 56-72. |
WORKMAN HIGH SCHOOL PLEASE KEEP THE GYM CLEAN NO SMOKING ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!! |

ELEMENTS
A team that evolved from two players playing for Team Dynasty in the Inaugural Season. Luke Montilla and James Bernardo felt it best to lead their own squad and after a disappointing Playoff run for Dynasty, they brought their friends and started Elements. In their early 20's their mission is to play Championship ball but to get there, they practice every Saturday and record their games just to see if their game plan is executed. "Championships are a bonus for our team. From what we've seen from Outkast, Relics, and Phenoms, they have taught us that life is broken down in phases. I know most of those guys are busy with the next chapter in life (as far as family life is concerned) and they barely have enough free time. We're young and we want to spend as much time as we can with our friends before we start that next chapter. Lastly, its amazing how far technology has gone in the last 8 years. We only wished those guys were blessed with what we have now. Otherwise, we'd be watching their highlights on Superstar Basketball."

hopefully everyone is ready to play. No more

going to be tough for teams nursing injuries. God Bless, Commish

Dear Superstar
Basketball League players and fans,
Lastly, in our 3 seasons of existence, our staff has done a lot of work to provide YOU with more than just an average basketball league. Superstar Basketball League is here to stay. We have made a positive experience in the community and we're raising the level in recreational basketball. Imagine what it was like without Superstar Basketball. Rewind back to a year ago when Superstar Basketball was non-existent. Better yet, rewind to February 26 when you logged on to www.superstarbasketball.org and you saw nothing. How did you feel?
SAY HELLO TO THE
BAD GUY, |
Last Updated: 2/24/07
- #1Stunners make it official |
Meet the New #1 #1 Stunners defeated Xplosion, 54-39 to remain undefeated through Week 4. Their 3-0 record has them ranked #1. |
|
|
Inter-Conference play brought out the best in a lot of players although the stat line doesn't show it. Games were ultra-competitive and here are some of the headliners.
|
|
|
Gold Division teams enjoyed the Inter-Conference play so much, they're doing it again this week. The competition was even for the most part and halfway through the season, several players are making their case for an All Star spot.

Jimenez
could
use one myself. Only Camel's Silver Turkish,
please. But you know what... we're not at a
club. Please be considerate of other people
because while you're outside smoking there are
people inside running and umm... I think they
are playing basketball. That's why we're here.
To play basketball. Not to host a smoke-out.
