The Playoffs
The postseason. This is where everything is
on the line, every point matters, every
second seems like a lifetime. This is where
you make your name, where your reputation is
born.
The
stage is set. 32 teams, 4 Champions. The
regular season is out the window and upsets
are known to happen every season. Teams have
excelled in the regular season only to fall
while others have taken their franchise to
glory. Rivalries are born, respect is earned
and in the end there can only be one
Champion.
Your
stats won't matter, your opponents know who
you are. Take it to the limit and the
competition gets tougher after each round.
Win the Championship and make history, lose
and you become history.

There were a lot of low points and lot of high
points in Superstar Basketball's 7th Season.
From Superbowl weekend, to the lack of gyms,
from ringers to April Fool's, from new rivalries
to a great All Star Weekend, we couldn't have
done it without you.
The rookies last season were strong and the Gold
Division continues to be one of the more popular
division in Superstar Basketball. I admit, I
underestimated a lot of the new teams but teams
like Run N Gun, Game Bang, and Team Kellz were
out to prove that they belong at the top.
Congratulations to
#1 Stunners, Full Clip, That Same Team and
Ladies Reign for winning the whole thing. Most
players will tell you it's a challenge just to
win the Championship... but it's even tougher to
stay on top. Take a break for a second because
next season is already starting on the 20th.
A lot of players
looked like All Stars, others looked like
Champs. Then there were others that look a lot
like... well....
Check out the
long-awaited
look-a-like
section. We like to have fun here
at Superstar Basketball so if you feel slightly
offended, please e-mail me and I'll remove you
from the gallery.
Why do they take so long you ask? Well, these
shirts are personalized and customized with your
team name. They aren't generic Championship Tees
that you get in any other league, these have
your team logo, names on it. Also, we try to
improve the attendance of our All Star Games...
so enjoy the ASG and pick up your tee.
Playoffs. I sat out of the Playoffs for
the first time since a year ago and honestly, it
felt great. There were a lot of great games, a
lot of upsets, and I'm sure a lot of people are
looking forward to Deacons vs. #1 Stunners III.

End
of the Season hardware will be announced on
Monday afternoon.
3
players from Deuces Wild where added on the
deadline. There's a glitch on the totals and the
totals are wrong for the three that were added.
Once it's fixed on Monday morning, we'll
announce the awards.
As
a reminder, teams should only have 12 roster
slots.
Thanks.

You know what
happens when there's suspensions....
We hold things up for a day.
Game Logs are done,
overall stats are done, but you know the deal.
One person gets suspended, we hold things up for
a day.
Also, Black Out
players have been placed on the '80 List'. Black
Out will not be allowed to register a team in
the future.
Players playing on
other teams cannot participate until a
re-instatement fee of $80 is paid off.
Thank You.

Last week of the
season and you know it gets heated. Players
never fight with each other and most of the
time, they're fighting with the refs.
I can relate to
some of the bad calls because I played in a game
where all the bad calls go against us.
Seriously, how in the world am I gonna foul
Andrew Knox on a jump shot when he's about two
feet taller than me? At the same time, I KNOW I
have to keep my mouth shut....plain and simple.
Rules are rules...and players need to understand
that sometimes, they need to keep their mouth
shut and just play through it.
Well, the players
page has been updated. USUCK Derek DeVan,
suspended 1 game, a week after Giyoh Shey was
suspended 1 game for Full Clip.
Players have asked
why we get t'd up for saying curse words. Well,
there's kids in the stands and Sundays are a
family event to most of the teams. There's a lot
of talking that goes on during the games and
some refs will let it go while others won't.
Know the refs like
you know your opponents. (Rocky Anciano)
Knowledge is power. (Sir Isaac Newton)
