Welcome, middle-aged men!

yesterday, nov. 4th, we elected our nation's first african-american president. that was yesterday and it is old news. the news of today (and the news that matters) is that MAMBA is very close. MAMBA stands for the Middle-Aged Men's Basketball Association and it is going to change your life.

we will plan to meet 1x per month, i'm thinking the first thursday of the month. if things are going really well and we aren't experiencing chest pains, maybe we can up it to 2x/month. dan powers, one of the participating MAMBA players, is close to locking in an indoor gym in fresh meadows. i figure we can meet at 8pm, do some shooting around, then start the game.

i see us playing a 60-point game (2 point buckets) with an intermission at 30pts. considering the fact that most of us play once a year, on average, it will be an uphill road, at least early on. but with time i think we can reach excellence and inner beauty.

i will be using this blog to post individual and team stats. how will i do this? by videotaping the games. i am a fiend for stats -- it's just that simple. also expect graphs showing player performance trends in graph form. cancel your fantasy basketball game....this is the real deal.

i will add voting polls, write post game analysis, and very likely mock opposing players. i've also added my basketball strengths/weaknesses to my profile. i encourage all to do the same.

welcome one and all to MAMBA! embrace your ability and learn to love yourself again.

Word.
I know I got my skills in a box around here somewhere from when I moved.
We might need a masseuse...

skills don't disappear...they just hide in a little bouncy box.

Can we play on a 9 foot rim please?
Also, I took it upon myself to set up a website for our MAMBA. Please take a sec and check it out at www.mambaonline.com
