Six Divisions

SAN DIEGO DIVISION
San Diego Division started with 6 teams last summer. The 3 court gym is nice and more teams are expected to join in the following weeks.
 

WOMEN'S DIVISION
The Women's Division started in the Fall 2007 season and featured 6 teams last season. Ladies Reign were the two time Champions until a team from La Sierra University (Lady Skull-basherz) ended their reign. In the past, women have proven they can compete in the Women's Division and in the Men's Division.
 

LeBronze DIVISION
Our newest division is the league's lowest division, LeBronze. Teams that do not make the Playoffs in Gold are the only teams allowed to register. New teams cannot join this division. Players that are playing in all other division cannot play in this division (with the exception of 2 General Managers). 
 

GOLD DIVISION
The most popular division in the league and is referred to as the Recreation Division. The teams are guard heavy and its fast paced. The Playoffs give it a NCAA tournament feel since the division has the most teams. Last season, 28 teams participated in Gold. You may face established teams which aren't good enough for Platinum yet, at the same time you might face teams that are just starting out.
 

PLATINUM DIVISION
Competitive Division. Not an elite player? Too good for the recreational basketball? Then the Platinum Division is your division. Gold Division teams may have some recreational players but in Platinum Division, the talent level is different. The teams are more organized and more structured.
 

DIAMOND DIVISION
The elite. From the sharp-shooters, the high-flyers, the MVPs of the lower divisions, the true All Stars, this is where the best competition is at. Last season's All Star highlights was nothing but a dunkfest between the Platinum Division and the Diamond Division teams on All Star Weekend. You're not going to break any records in Diamond because the other players won't let you. This is where the best competition is at. The more experienced teams play at the highest level so expect to see some former college players, semi-pros, and the record breakers playing here. 4 players with NBA experience participated in Diamond last season and the division had 12 teams.

Previews and Recaps

Vanilla is great and all but why settle for a flavor that's bland and boring. The subplots in the game are intriguing and for some players, it's brought out their best games. Remember that game when you had 9 three-pointers and everyone read about it because it was archived on a website. How about the time when you had to pick between playing with your Championship team and playing with your new team. Your money will get you a ball game in other leagues but when you accomplish a memorable feat, that memory will live in our archives. "First game for the League and Luke Montilla rips 7 steals..."

Some GMs will say that the staff favors certain teams. Most of the time its rookies trying to get their shine on and its all part of the rookie hazing experience. We've had teams and players that been here since Day One and EVERYONE will get their shine on from time to time.

8.
Eight Games

8 Games on Sunday (7 for the Women's Division). That's eight games that lasts 2-3 months, a time period long enough for you to improve and develop yours skills on the basketball court. There's enough time between seasons for players to recuperate from the long, grueling season.

7.
Rivalry Weekend

Remember that fool who played in your team and he went out and started his own team. How about your friend from high school that keeps talking and talking and talking saying how his team is better than yours. The staff will do its best to promote competitive games and the climax is usually on Week 7, the week known as Rivalry Weekend.

The more teams that get added to the league the juicier the rivalry gets. A lot of teams were eliminated before the Playoffs and the losing teams usually want to avenge their defeat. Guess when payback is...

6.
Growth

The League started out with 6 teams just a little over two years ago on August 6, 2006. It doubled the following season with 12 teams and in its 3rd season, it had a total of 26 teams. Between the 3rd and 4th season, the competition was higher than expected and we had 4 teams pave way for 10 new teams. 32 teams in 4 seasons is one thing...but it's quality over quantity and that's why teams come back for more.

The league expanded to San Diego and more teams are expected to join from Daygo. The talent and the competition is big in Superstar Basketball but with the league implementing LeBronze (a lower division) expect more teams to join.

5.
Virtual Awards

The record books and Champions pages were remodeled last spring. The All Star Gallery and End of the Season awards will be remodeled in the next few weeks. What other league recognizes you for what you do on the court? Why spend your time playing in a league where you're nothing but a jersey number?

Playoffs

This is the epitome of it all. The Championship Game. The road to the 'chip is tough specially in Superstar Basketball. The Playoffs is a two day event with the first two games being the toughest. The 1st Round and the Semis take place a week after the season ends and is followed by the Championship Game a week later.

3.
Zero Tolerance for Fighting

Physical play is part of the game. A hard foul is simply that a hard foul but at the end of the game, we're all friends and one big family. The governing body does its best to maintain the integrity of the League and our code of conduct is strict. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FIGHTING is simply that.

2.
Hype

From the music blaring from the speakers to the hype surrounding your game, there's no question that when you are playing in a big game, you might get somewhat nervous. From the articles, the standings, even on the message boards, sooner or later the spotlight will be on you and it's up to you to prove that you want it. You might even be Player of the Week.
