LIKE THE JEFFERSONS, MOVE ON UP
9.25.09
PLATINUM DIVISION PLAYOFF TEAMS
I will not force you to move up.
But with the Diamond Division left with only 4
teams last season, I am encouraging all Playoff
Platinum Division teams to move up to Diamond
next season.
The competition level is higher but the days of
new Diamond teams coming to the league and
trying to take over is no longer there. We need
to save Diamond Division and you already know
that College players are ineligible to play in
any leagues during their season. So what are you
waiting for? Move up to Diamond, Platinum. If I
have to lead by example, so be it.
"USUCK, you're going to Diamond next season!!"
GOLD DIVISION PLAYOFF TEAMS
The bottom half...from #8 to #16 should stay in
Gold.
The rest of you, Buckets, The Rock, Dynasty...
should consider playing in Platinum Division
next season.
A lot of LeBronze-bound division teams are on
their way to Superstar. You might be matched up
with some teams who really, really suck. They
suck so bad, even I wouldn't want to play
against them. I'm just kidding around, but you
understand what I'm trying to do here. LOL.
IF
YOUR TEAM HAS REGISTERED ALREADY
I need a favor.
I need some videos, pictures of you when you
were a kid.
Preferably holding a basketball, wearing some
basketball jersey, or a team photo of you and
your grade school basketball team or what not.
Please e-mail to
commish@superstarbasketball.org
Working on a new video (NOT ON YOUTUBE), and
we're using it to promote Season 14.
Thank You.

SEASON 14
9.21.09
FOOL'S GOLD
There are a lot of teams who want to drop down
to LeBronze next season. A lot of teams know
that there is no Playoffs, the division isn't as
prestigious as the other divisions, yet the
demand gets higher every season.
The NEW LeBronze Division had 4 competitive
teams last season. All the other teams were just
in Bronze to have fun, get their cardio, or play
with their family teams. At this moment,
there are 3 existing Gold Division teams that
have interest in bringing a team in LeBronze
next season. The problem is, these teams are
Playoff teams in Gold this season.
When G.B.O.B. said they were a spin-off from
Game Bang, well they really weren't and the
result was a Championship appearance. Any time
you give loopholes, people will expose it.
Sooner or later, some of the Bronze teams are
going to get competitive and they'll look to win
a Championship like Phenoms did last Spring.
That's not what LeBronze was meant for and
sooner or later, you'll have teams in Gold
purposely dropping to LeBronze just to win a
title.
"EARNING" LEBRONZE
When Bullets and A*Team played in Gold last
Spring, they were getting beat by all the other
Gold teams. They had intentions of playing in
Bronze but the only way in was to be a
NON-PLAYOFF GOLD TEAM.
I believe that the best way of solving this is
to have your Bronze-bound team play in Gold this
season. Your team has to start off in Gold in
order to drop to LeBronze. There's 3 teams out
there that are wanting to play in Bronze and to
keep them competitive, they'll play against some
of the lower competitive Gold teams. The GM CAN
only play for one of his teams and the GM could
still GM the other Gold team.
I'll hear these complaints from teams who want
to play in Bronze.
"Our guys suck, blah blah blah."
"We just want to play with family...blah blah
blah."
I'd rather hear one complaint from one possible
Bronze-bound team than having to hear complaints
from 10 teams in Bronze saying their team didn't
earn the right to play in LeBronze. I'm not
trying to block your team from playing LeBronze,
I'm just saying the other teams in Bronze earned
the right to suck so bad, they enjoy playing in
a lower division. With the new "NO DIAMOND IN
GOLD" rule next season, playing in Gold won't be
as bad...
ONE LAST THING
Yah, I know how the loophole system works. If
you didn't play for a specific team, you can't
just take over a certain team and run with it.
For example, if umm... Victor Ng (San
Miguel Beermen, Gold Playoff team) wanted to
take over a LeBronze team and decided to take
over Bomb Squad, a team he never played for, it
won't happen.
There's a waiting list for LeBronze. Temporary
Gold teams will likely play against each other
anyway. If A*Team and Bullets had to do it, then
so do you.

NEW TREASURER
9.17.09
NO WORKMAN HIGH SCHOOL...AGAIN!!
We're finding a different gym, but just to let
you guys know...
we do not have Workman High School.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
I used to do it a lot...you know update the
schedule every hour, every day.
We can't really update it if we're still waiting
on gym availability.
Thanks for being patient.
NEW TREASURER
One of the hardest things about being Commish is
collecting money. It slows down the process and
I want to stick to what I'm good at: web,
photos, videos...
I can't really do that if I'm having to contact
teams about their payment so next season we have
a new role, Treasure.
Victor Ng, former GM of Silent But
Deadly, has a good history of paying first and
he's shown he's responsible. Next season, he'll
be the one collecting fees, e-mailing teams with
receipts, and doing the whole finance thing.
SALE PRICE
We basically offered $550 for this week so that
it gets teams to pay ahead of time. Next week,
the price will jump to normal price. We'll have
a sale here and there but for now, the $550
price will only last until Friday.
Thanks. |

SEASON 14
9.10.09
WELCOME TO SEASON 14, "BACK TO BASICS"
Last season's theme was West Coast Gold Rush II.
Dream Big, Get Big, Live like an All Star...
Sometimes when you think too far ahead, you
forget the little things...
the simple things that got you there.
Got way too far ahead of ourselves I mean
seriously, 2 divisions?
35 and over AND Varsity Division all in one
season?
EPIC FAIL.
LEARN FROM IT
While most would hide their flaws, their
failures, I'm going on record to say
I FAILED. I FAILED...at that specific time, I
learned from my mistakes but
I'm going back to what made Superstar what it
was. We're doing what we
do best and that's running an adult league.
DIVISION BREAK DOWN
Only 4 teams showed up for Diamond last
season! It's the biggest season
of the season and ONLY 4 teams show up for the
league's elite division?
How do you fix that? Who is to blame? Many of
the elite ball players were
either intimidated or they simply didn't want
the competition.
Let's break it down...
IF YOU HAVE COLLEGE BASKETBALL
experience, you cannot play in Gold.
If you play for a Diamond Division team (GMs are
exempted), you will not
be allowed to play in Gold Division.
Some of the elite ball players will have Diamond
and Platinum to choose from
while some of the competitive ball players (but
not good enough for Diamond)
can play in Gold and Platinum Divisions.
Players who are starting out in the game of
basketball, players who are
out of shape, staff members who work all day for
Superstar and want to
just break a sweat can play in the league's
lowest division, LeBronze.
Don't be a dumb-ass and try to play in a
division where you're going to dominate.
You will get grilled in the previews and the
recaps if you are purposely trying
to play in a division we know you can dominate.
Go out there and challenge
yourself, you won't get better padding your
stats.
