We're lucky to even have gyms, at the very
last minute.
It was either push the season back, well into
the first week of next year or finish the season
now.
If you didn't get your gym times, you probably
lagged on payment.
20 of the 50 teams have a balance greater than
the ref fees which means they still owe league
fees.

Commish BALANCE 12.6.09
- if your team has a balance, come
through at Walnut Rec this week and pay it off.
Failure to do so means you won't be scheduled
and your team is in danger of going to the 80's
List.
20 of the 50 teams have a balance greater than
the ref fees which means they still owe league
fees.
Thanks.

Commish DEJAVU 12.3.09
- Here we go again. End of the season and
once again, teams still owe league fees. We only
have 4 games scheduled this weekend. I e-mailed
every team that owes a balance urging them to
pay off their balance on Wednesday night and be
caught up to date. So I practically drove from
Corona to Walnut only to have 1 team take
initiative and get caught up with league fees.
At this point of the season, if your team only
has 1 game left, you should only owe $35. Yes,
there are several teams that owe $200+
At this point, it looks like the season will be
pushed a week back.
Peace

Commish HAPPY THANKSGIVING 11.26.09
FROM OPRAH WINFREY:
"Be thankful for
what you have; you'll end up having more. If you
concentrate on what you don't have, you will
never, ever have enough."
2009 wasn't
the greatest year, in fact, it was probably one
of the most forgettable years I've had to
endure. I can look back and whine about this,
complain about that but there's no sense in
crying over spilled milk. A random thanks as I
reflect on this past year. - I AM
THANKFUL FOR God (saying it in my Manny
Pacquiao voice) por geebing me ahhhhhh gud
health. At 29, I can't be writing previews all
night and playing 3 games the next day. I'm
fortunate enough not to get injured, I'm lucky
to be playing 14 straight seasons and not
suffering from any serious injury. For that, I
am thankful.
- I AM THANKFUL FOR the Superstar Basketball
Family that make Superstar Basketball what it
is. Every Sunday, I get to watch competitive
basketball and we have to thank the staff, the
friends, the players and the fans who support
Superstar Basketball every Sunday. Have you ever
gone through a Sunday with nothing to do and
being bored out of your mind the whole day? It's
not a good feeling.
- I AM THANKFUL FOR the fans who once
again made cheering cool this past Fall.
Trinicousins, Dipset, and Pharcyde fans made it
cool to cheer during games and just to be in
that environment reminds me of the good ol' days
with Elements, Decepticons, and Deacons. I'm
sure the players share the same sentiment as I
do. There's nothing like dozens of fans
supporting you as you play your rivals. Thank
You, "6th man".
- I AM THANKFUL FOR the first 6 weeks of this season. No forfeits
for the first 6 weeks was unbelievable. That
streak came to end on Week 7, and a lot had to
do with the new location (Azusa, Memorial Park).
Hopefully we can start another streak next
season.
- I AM THANKFUL FOR the mistakes I made
over the summer. Thanks for the growing pains,
GOD, I appreciate it. (no sarcasm intended,
cough, jk)
- I AM THANKFUL FOR the dozens of loyal Superstar Basketball teams
who stuck it out this Fall. Last summer was a
disaster and for you guys to stay loyal means a
lot. I know the economy has been tough on
everyone but for you guys to be able to stick it
out and still play every Sunday means a lot to
me.
- I AM THANKFUL FORthe refs to give me
something to laugh at. I think I know what a
foul is and I'm pretty sure I know when a person
travels. Somehow, you find a way to watch a
different game
- I
AM THANKFUL FOR the refs. They are great
officials. =)
- I
AM THANKFUL FOR City of Walnut, Azusa,
Iriwindale, and all the gyms we use.
- I AM THANKFUL FOR adobo (filipino food), pancit (filipino
food), turkey, ham, cheese, rice,
pootang pie, more adobo, more pancit,
coke, beer, shots, advil, and diet Coke. (I
never understood how people eat a lot but order
a Diet Coke, like they were on some diet). I am
NOT thankful for the runs I'm going to get the
next day after I eat all that food. =(
Peace and God Bless.

Commish SMOOTH TRANSITION 11.19.09
SOME REMINDERS
- THERE ARE
NO GAMES ON THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!
- Players that ARE NOT GMs cannot play in
LeBronze and any other division. It's one or the
other.
- Players may not be added after the 3rd game
your team plays.
EASY DIRECTIONS TO
MEMORIAL PARK
- If you're
coming from the Inland Empire, this is the
fastest way to our new location.
- From the 71 or 60, take 71 North, 10
West and head on to 57 North
- Take the 57 North and get on the 210 Freeway
(West)
- Exit Azusa Ave and instead of making a left
off the ramp, go straight. There's a lot of
traffic if you make that left so just go
straight.
- Make a left on 3rd Street and go 1/4 mile
down. You'll see the baseball field on the right
side, keep going straight.
- You'll see Orange Ave but just pull in to the
parking Lot.
- NRC Gym is the North Gym, the white building
which is furthest from 3rd St.
- MPK Gym is Memorial Park Gym, the brick
building which is closest to 3rd St.
The buildings are literally 20 feet apart from
each other. They are both on the same site, but
it's two different buildings that are separated.
If you have additional questions, e-mail me
ahead of time or check out Google. Please leave
earlier than usual just so you arrive early. The
last thing I want to see is 20 different calls
on Sunday with people asking for directions.
Let's all plan ahead of time.
I may switch all Diamond / Platinum games to
Irwindale Gym since that gym is longer and
better suited for some of the more conditioned
players.
Lebronze games may be moved to Memorial Park
Court 2. Out of all the 3 gyms, it has more
bleachers for the crowd.
I'll provide pictures, directions and easy
instructions on how to get to the gym since I'll
be at both locations on Wednesday. I should have
it up by Thursday so PPPPLEASEEEEE make your
schedule requests now so that we can finalize
the schedule by Thursday evening.
Some of you guys still aren't fully paid. We
need full payment by Friday. This is a new gym
and they are having us pay ahead of time. We
need your league fees so that we can pay for the
gyms.
Thank You

Commish IRWINDALE GYM 11.14.09
SCHEDULE
There was a mix-up with the schedule for
Memorial Park. We actually don't start there at
our new location until next Sunday, 11/21 not
11/15.
We will be at Irwindale Gym this week from 3
p.m. - 9 p.m. We didn't get a set
schedule until Friday so schedule will be final
as of Saturday for this week.
COMPLAINTS
I hope everyone understands that when we try to
do the schedule, we cater to the teams who have
priority first. Once we cater to the priority
teams, we give teams with double-headers the
next priority. A lot of people complain about
scheduling and it's been the #1 headache.
...but when emergencies happen and suddenly your
guys take a last minute trip to Vegas, or when
emergencies happen and suddenly you can't play
in the morning and you need to have your team
play at night... I just hope you remember those
favors because in every other league, you'd get
a forfeit. This season, I've actually e-mailed
teams regarding their schedule changes and we
have had ZERO FORFEITS up to Week 6. That's my
biggest goal this season, to have ZERO FORFEITS
in Season 14.
Thanks

2-time Champion Walter Tamidles isn't
throwing up two fingers for his 2
Championships. What he could be saying
is 'Peace-Out' to Trinicousins should
Dipset beat Trinicousins to give them
their second loss of the season. Game
time at 3 p.m.
