Quiz Results

one thing is obvious.....very few of you are doing your basketball homework. these results make me feel nauseous. honest - i feel physically ill when I look at these scores. Here they are from worst to best:

Stallion - 20
Motorbreath - 40
Dutchman - 40
Weevil - 45
Lightning - 55
Dr. Sessions - 60
Eagle - 80

Stallion, you should be ashamed. 20 is very very sad. You're a dad now. You need to set a good example for your baby. Do your basketball homework, for god's sake.

Eagle, now I know why you are known as heartsweat. Your heart beats because of basketball. You sweat basketball. Basketball = love. It is no mystery you are the valedictorian. Behold, your sacred certificate:

Update

A few weeks back Dr. Sessions suggested having new Mamba shirts made up for the '09-10 season. If we agree to do it, we can have the second batch made in a different color so that way each player has two colors - home and away.

Ordering another round of Mamba shirts could also be a good idea for these reasons:

1. the welcome addition of Dutchman
2. several players have new names, such as:
  • Stallion, aka The Oven or The Italian Oven
  • Carlson, aka Moth, because I wear shirts which have been ravaged by moths
  • Motorbreath, aka Fall, because he likes to fall down when he plays basketball
  • and of course, Eagle, aka Heartsweat....the only man to sweat a heart on his chest.
2 players still haven't voted for the last league game Black Mamba. Vote now....it's a close one. Once i get those votes in I will post Black Mambas from the last two games.

if you haven't taken the Mamba quiz yet, take it. the player with the highest score gets a special prize.

Highlights:
  • Eagle shatters previous scoring record of 32 pts (set just a week ago by Stallion) by scoring 39 points on an unfathomable 52 attempts.
  • Lightning snatches Motorbreath's steal record (10) with 11 steals.
  • Motorbreath takes Dutchman's rebound record (32) with 38.
  • Lightning and Eagle join the triple double club. Well done!
  • Carlson becomes the first player to score at least 30pts and 30 rebounds in a game.
This makes for an intriguing Black Mamba vote. Lightning has his best career game. Eagle scores half of his team's points. Carlson sets a new point/rebound record. Motorbreath plays his usual all-around game. Workley shoots 16% above his career avg. and doubles his rebound avg.
