It
took 3 trips to the Finals but last
Season, the #1
Stunners finally claimed their first
title. Will Relics return to the Finals
and finally win it all?
- Phenoms GM Alvin Agular: "It's going
to be a waste if they don't finally win
it,"
- Platinum Division General Managers:
"With their All Star Diamond Division
Team, they should at least get to the
Finals." |

OUR CULTURE |
Superstar Basketball is known for our level of competition
and for our
sportsmanship. We do our best to enforce the rules but truth is,
you're only as
good as your teams are. If our teams are ghetto, then our league is
ghetto. If our
teams compete and altercations never occur, then we'll have a good
rep.
- 3 Players acquired double techs last week.
(626'ers Josh Fry, Outkast Allen Medina and Josh
Bencito)
Players that were suspended for
acquiring a double tech last week will be
fined $50 each. Players MUST PAY THE FINE before playing.
Please understand, you not only represent yourself but you
represent the League.
When you act up at other gyms in front of gyms, that kind of
behavior is
embarrassing. It gets to a point where I gotta hear everyone out,
do extra work,
and our process is delayed.
A lot of the write-ups were late this season, and I read all
that in our EXIT
INTERVIEWS. They wouldn't be late if people just behaved and
acted accordingly.
PLAYOFFS
Please remember, fees are $35 each game. They are due BEFORE the
game, not
AFTER.
End of the Season awards will be announced tonight.
See ya'll tomorrow and good luck in the Playoffs.

TENTATIVE PLAYOFF SCHEDULE |
This is what the tentative schedule looks like for now.
LAST SEASON'S SCHEDULE
Diamond Division playoffs start at 1 p.m. 2 at
the latest
Platinum Division starts at 11 a.m.
Gold Division starts at 10 a.m.
FORFEITS
There were about 6 forfeits on Week 8 because of Father's
Day, Graduation, and
the Lakers game.
I guess you can pretty much say there will be a forfeit bond
next season.
It's unfair for teams to get ready for a game, take their
family to the game, waste
gas money, only for the other team not to show up.
|
MEDIA DAY |
Tomorrow, teams will be taking their team photos so be sure you get
spiffy.
Also please fill out the Exit Interviews.
SOUL FOOD
I
haven't been home much and the website wasn't
up-to-date this week.
Tragedy struck my family on Monday night and my gramma passed away.
She was
the one who got me going to church when I was a kid and as many of
you know,
Superstar Basketball started from a church basketball league, St.
Martha's.
It's Father's Day tomorrow and if anything she just wanted to be
with my grampa...
Anyway... I've been out of synch all week. Thanks for being patient
with the
updates.
God Bless...

GYM TIME - ASC |
We have American Sports Center from the following hours:
6 p.m. (3 courts)
7 p.m. (3 courts)
8 p.m. (3 courts)
Thanks.

LEAGUE FEES |
Full Payments for League Fees were due on Week 3.
Registration Fee:
- $380 (New Teams)
- $340 (Returning Teams)
Referee Fees:
- $280 (8 games x $35)
If your team isn't fully paid by Wednesday, you
will not be scheduled from here
on out. Contact me via e-mail to make payment arrangements. You can
make a
payment via paypal or in person.
I had the stupidest question asked the other day, "Why is it so
expensive?"
My response, "Wow. Our prices are competitive with other leagues.
Not only
do we provide you games but we do a lot more than other leagues.
Previews,
recaps, sortable stats, archived seasons, Superstar Radio... the
list goes on."
If you're wondering why the previews weren't posted on time on Week
7... well...
not only did I e-mail each team with a balance but I had to
research each team's
payment history since a lot of teams don't pay all at once. It's a
hassle and I'm
sure you've seen the process. All I'm sayin' is help us help you.
FORFEIT BOND
Per request by more than half the teams in the league, a
forfeit bond will be instituted
next season. I have never seen so many forfeits in a season
and everyone has
their excuse here and there. To make things smoother, we will have
a forfeit bond
next season.
MATCH-UPS
If your team is 2-5, expect to play against a team that is 5-2
just so you have the
chance to earn a tie-breaker for the Playoffs. If you're
trying to play against a team
that is 2-5, there's no point in playing against another 2-5 team
unless you have
already defeated a top 5-2 team.
SCHEDULE
The schedule for Week 8 will be updated as of Wednesday night.
I'm still waiting for teams to make a full payment by Wednesday.
NO PAY, NO PLAY.
|
THE RIVALRY CONTINUES |
 Sometimes the schedule doesn't work in our favor (Superbowl) and
sometimes we
get lucky.
There was one season where Week 7 was
Rivalry Weekend in So. Cal.
- USC vs UCLA (football)
- Lakers vs Clippers
This season our Rivalry Weekend (Week 7) is
during Game 2 of the
NBA Finals
Boston vs LA. (LAKERS IN 6!!)
ALL STAR WEEKEND
You want to know what's extremely lucky. 4 weeks ago, we came up
with the
concept of having our players wear jerseys for our Diamond Division
All Stars vs.
Platinum Division All Star Game.
Check out the colorway.
The Championship shirts from last season
came in.
Click on the right to check out the shirts.
Next season's registration is already up.
EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for teams that pay early.
$600
from now to June 13.
This is the lowest price available.
You get more than what other basketball leagues give you.
Write-ups, stats, Superstar Radio, Superstar TV... you know
the deal.
There's still a lot of teams that aren't fully
paid.
PLEASE MAKE THE FULL PAYMENT BY THIS WEEKEND.
STATS KEEPERS WILL NOT START THE GAME UNTIL WE HAVE FULL
PAYMENT.
YOUR TEAM WILL RECEIVE A LOSS AND A FORFEIT FEE.
Fees were due 3 weeks ago. We've been lenient until now. We
got bills to pay.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
Peace.

SPIKED |
Because of the volleyball schedule at American Sports Center, only
2 courts will
be available for us. We were aware of the situation as of
11:00 a.m. on Friday
morning. What this means is, some teams HAVE to play at 10 p.m. on
Sunday night.
Playing at 10 p.m. is fun especially if you can't sleep at night.
I'm about to hear
the complaints about playing at 10 but look at it this way:
- it's Summertime
- you have the whole day to yourself
- 10 p.m., 8 a.m., 7 p.m. ...if you're a baller, it doesn't matter
what time you play.
LAGGERS
We lost one of our best writers due to unforeseen circumstances
(suspension)
so we're doing more than we should be. Some of my writers are
getting ready to
wrap up their school semester so thanks for being patient with
them.
I would have written it myself but real talk... I'd be writing with
an angry keyboard.
Those of you who personally know me know that I keep it real, I
don't hide emotions
and I'm straight up. I'm still turned off about Week 5 and every
time I start writing
I find myself hitting Delete-delete-delete. Season 7 was so simple
but Season 8...
ya'll making me work!!
NBA FINALS
Game 5 is on June 15.
Game 5 is on June 15.
Game 5 is on June 15.
You know what that means, right? There better be a Lakers sweep or
the Lakers
better win it away or else we're looking at a potential
Championship Game on
Week 8. That last thing I want to hear in this already tumulus
season is the Lakers
celebrating a Championship and us playing ball at Walnut Rec.
