I never realized how long it's been since I've updated this blog...actually, yah I do know but what can I say. I've been busy man. My wife is giving birth to our 2nd child in January (just in time for the start of the 2011 MBA season) and my son demands more & more attention as he gets older LOL...so where the hell do I start???
2010 MBA FINALS:
I never updated the blog shortly after the finals were done, but if you visited the league website www.leaguelineup.com/mbl you would have seen that the Rebels won the 3rd and deciding game of the finals by 1 point! Travis won the the 2010 league MVP. This was a tough decision and really came down to the final game. There were a number of strong candidates for MVP but Travis' decision making was solid the whole year, he hit the most 3's and came up with a clutch block in the dying seconds in Game 3 of the Finals. Congratulations to Travis & the Rebels!
2010 NBA FINALS:
The NBA 2010 Champs are my Lakers! The series was mad close, but I honestly think they saw how exciting & entertaining the MBA Finals were and wanted to emulate it. They came close, but I have to admit...the MBA refs are waaaaay better at officiating a game!
The Summer
And just like that, we're already 1/2 way through August and the Monday Night Run that started this whole thing will start up again..for the 11th consecutive year! Some of the MBA players have made a court up in The Stove (Stouffville for you non-cool people) their summer home. Runs have been good, hopefully some of the ballers we've met there will register for the 2011 season.
2011 Season and Beyond
Since the season has ended, I've gotten a number of inquiries about the league and what it's about. Being that last year was only our 2nd season, a lot was learned and there will be changes. In the upcoming season, we're expecting to expand to 6 teams. Gym time is secured and things are being implemented to ensure the league is run in a more organized and professional manner. Board officials will be used for the games and this will affect the registration price however, the registration price will still be cost effective.
2011 is going to be a really good year for the MBA. I'm expecting even bigger things for 2012!
Ok...so that's it for now. Now that the summer is closing out, I'll try to stay on top of updating this at least once a week. But no promises :)
Screw the Heat...Raptors stink...GO LAKERS!
