Preseason Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 PLAYOFFS  ALL STAR WEEKEND

Superstar Basketball continues its Week 1 tradition of having teams who introduce teams to Superstar Basketball face off against one another.

For the first time, Money Inc faces off against Semi Pro Inc. Two teams capable of running a monopoly on Superstar Basketball play each other in their season-opener.

Money Inc, Platinum Division Champions, introduced Semi Pro Inc to Superstar Basketball two seasons ago. After losing their Championship Game just two weeks ago, will Semi Pro Inc prove they're still better than Money Inc?
 

We asked several players, staff writers, fans about some of the most memorable games in Superstar Basketball history.
 
 - Catching up with Summer 2008 MVP Dedrick Bates
 Which game (excluding yours) was the most memorable game in Superstar Basketball history?
The most memorable game was Money Inc vs. Hydroform because Hydroform had Money Inc’s loaded roster in defeat but let the game slip away. I never seen Andrew Persaud so nervous...

Which game (excluding yours) was the most memorable game in Superstar Basketball history.

- Forefathers of the League

 Superstar Basketball started out in August 2006 but many loyalists know that the league actually started at a small church in Valinda, St Martha’s. 

The year was 1996 and fliers were handed out to several church members about a new basketball league for the church. 8 teams started the Inauguaral season with teams like Flight One (Outkast Connection), Flight Phenomenon (Phenoms), NXT!, Hoop Junkies taking part.

 OUT OF TOWN
 10.9.08
  San Diego is hosting their first All Star Championship Weekend.
  I won't be in town from Friday morning til Saturday evening.
 
  For this week, SCHEDULE WILL BE FINAL ON SATURDAY EVENING
  at 8 p.m.

  We didn't get enough hours with Walnut Rec and we have a new gym,
  Upland Sports Arena.
  We are collecting fees upfront.

  Please be patient. Saturday evening is when the schedule is final.

 NEW GYM
 10.7.08
  Our hours for Week 1 at Walnut Rec is limited.
  2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
  We may get more hours after 5 p.m., we're just waiting for confirmation.
  The reason... NJB.
 
  We are getting Upland Sports Arena. Hours are from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.
  
  Our hours for Week 2 is from 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. at Walnut Rec.
  More hours after 5 p.m. might be available!!
 
  THE NEW GIRL
  Kristin is brand new and she's getting heat already.
  She's not familiar with anyone in the league and she's going by the books.
  She has no affiliation so she's scheduling everything based on priority.
  We ARE DELEGATING tasks... that's all it is.
  Last 9 seasons, I've been Commish, scheduler, bill collector, janitor, photographer
  videographer, director, secretary, announcer, player, Lebronze leading scorer,
  pimp on Friday nights (jk). But seriously, last season we had Omar do
  announcing at All Star Game... I've had people start doing other things just so
  more people are involved.
 
  Last season, there were a lot of teams who lagged on payment.
  There were a lot of teams who abused the system.
  We changed the new policy so that I don't have to do the schedule anymore
  and I can focus on other things like trying to get sponsors, improving Superstar
  TV, and improving the website.

  In regards to the schedule, PLEASE PLEASE e-mail her.
  schedule@superstarbasketball.org
 
  There is no R. It's not SCHEDULER. LOL. 
  See you guys on the next post.

  Brea Canyon (Walnut Gym) will not be available for us this coming season.

  Just a reminder, if your team has a substantial balance from the past seasons,
  make sure it gets paid for. If you show up on the 80's list, well my new staff
  member Kristin placed you there for a reason. Season is dun-zo already... and
  your team still has a balance? How does that work?

  Also, our GM Meeting is this Sunday, 5 p.m. at Walnut Rec.
  We will have our staff meeting immediately after at 6 p.m.
  We will be accepting payments on-hand so be there.

  Several issues we need to vote on...
  - 15 man roster?
  - Payment reminders
  - Officials
  - New rules, if any.
  - Uniforms (NO MORE TAPE ALLOWED, SIlent But Deadly, cough)

  Pizza is on Anthony Palacol. J/K.

  A lot of people are wondering what my outlook was this past season. So I'll
  break it down to you.

  LEBRONZE DIVISION
  Every team had fun. We realized that even with a small number amount of teams,
  even with a lower level of talent, teams will still be competitive. People who
  personally know me know that I created this division to counter all those
  6-foot and under only Asian Leagues. Basketball isn't a race sport. It's a
  skill sport. Unfortunately, people still play the race card and at a time when a
  US team with LeBron, loses to another country, people still believe race has a lot
  to do with basketball. I'm 5'2 (I'm sticking to that story), and I'm Filipino, and I led
  the division in scoring with 22 a game. I didn't lead the division in scoring because
  of my race, I did it because I worked hard for it.

  GOLD DIVISION
  With so many teams, only the 5-3 teams made it to the Playoffs. It makes the
  Playoffs exciting and Nusantara proved that any team can win in Gold. You can
  have superstars and an all-star in your squad but that will get you nowhere.
  Most teams play team basketball and the run-and-gun style of the guards make
  the division what it is.

  PLATINUM and DIAMOND DIVISION
  Our best season yet. Diamond will have all-NBA rules this coming season and
  this past season, we had our biggest turnout with former NBA players gracing
  the Walnut Rec hardwood.

  OFFICIALS
  We expect fair officiating. We expect officials to explain to us why they make
  certain calls. I'm guilty of criticizing some officials on the spot... and the
  next day when I watch film and see pictures, well, I see how they make
  certain calls.

  Listen, humans aren't perfect. They make mistakes. But this is their job and they
  do this professionally.

  I wanted Superstar to have the same refs all the time, just like the NBA. A lot of
  players don't like the history with certain officials and they feel like there's a
  certain bias against them. Even I started feeling this way.
 
  This coming season, we're bringing a new group of officials on one side of
  the court. I'm not saying one side of officials is better than the other. I'm holding
  on to Reggie's crew because I'm loyal. What I'm doing is providing you with
  options to see new officials officiate your game.

  1-MAN SHOW
  When I played my April Fool's Joke... I wanted to see how many teams really
  cared about the league, and it was a test to see which staff members are loyal.

  I realized how many players were loving the league and they wanted the show
  to continue even without me there. I started delegating the tasks more and...

  You can already see it. Omar was doing the announcing during All Star Game.
  I've shown up late (11 a.m.) numerous times to see if the early crew can get
  the games running and they have. Ryan Francisco is doing a good job in San
  Diego and next season, someone is handling the fees and collecting payments
  since I obviously suck at it.

  When you see bigger prizes, when you see All Star jerseys, when you see
  the quality of the league go up, that's because of you.

  It sounds corny but, YOU make Superstar what it is.
  (dramatic fade out, Frank Sinatra playing in the background...)
  "You too, can be a Superstar..."

  FIN.
