Lebronze Division Preview
By: Harry Yoo
Lebronze Divison, which started as the division where players can develop their skills, has turned into the new Gold Division. Teams such as Lights Out and Lebronze Divison champs, Bullies, have stacked up their team in order to try and win a championship. What happened to having fun and not caring whether you win or lose? People are hungry for that trophy even if it’s in the lowest division.
Things to watch
Ryan Rulloda. He probably has the biggest mouth in the league. This is a warning that if you lose to this guy, you will not hear the end of it. So make sure you come to play against Boos.
Speaking of things to watch, stats-keepers, please watch the game logs and don’t let anyone see it. We all remember what happened last season when Rulloda & Co. wanted to see the game log after the game.
Luke Montilla. Can we get another music video from this guy??
Preseason Power Rankings
1. Thrillers- They’ve played together for many seasons and it shows in their chemistry. They are the team to beat.
2. Mint Condition- They went from laughing stock to cream of the crop.
3. Lights Out- Have 2 former Gold Division MVP’s on the team yet they still can’t get it done. Is it the 626’ers curse all over again??
4. Boxed Out- Big man Jordan Call is a beast and it doesn’t look like anyone can stop him in this division.
5. Boos- Ended last season 5-1, just missing out on the championship game. Will they keep on winning or will someone be able to shut Ryan Rulloda up?
6. Ninja Turtles- GM Efehi Ogbebor loves picking up players from Chino Hills 24. If you play there, beware of Grimace lurking around.
7. Dipset- They have a good team but lack motivation. They would rather go to Vegas and lose a couple games than win a chip.
8. The Fallen- James Santillan is a fouling machine. Can he stay in the game long enough to help his team?
9. Assassins- Rod Ching has taken over the franchise. Does this mean the slow demise of Assassins?
10. Gang Bang DT- What does AJ have up his sleeve this season? Hanz must know something I don’t know about ranking them #4.
11. Justice League- GM Leomar Cachola is hoping a name change will help change their fortunes. Did he make some moves during the offseason or will it be the same ol’ team.
12. Elements- They are the reason Lebronze was first built. Look for them to full court press the whole game
13. Pharcyde- Some of the rowdiest fans in the division. Will they be able to get back to their winning ways?
14. Still Fly- This team got it right putting together a team that is worthy of the division. They may not be good but they have a good time.
