KBA 10/12

In case you haven't seen this absolute GEM (get ready to soil yourself at 1:16) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_h7Lm7C9Nk

Welcome back, KBA fans.  Let's recap the games last night, where the action was fast, furious, and most importantly, BAD.  Seriously.  Like Adam Howard-level bad all night long.  The games started with 4 on 4, made it to 5 on 5 for a game, then reverted back to 4s following a night-ending injury for Taliban (aka The Aghan, aka Wahid).  We actually went to half-court after awhile because we were THAT bad and having that much trouble scoring.  It really makes one long for the days of yore, when Farhad would shoot on 10 consecutive trips for his "team", and Bellman would shoot on 10 consecutive trips for his team.      

Team Pile of Dung: NVE, Shan, the Overdribbler, Taliban, and the guy Ricky D inexplicably calls MVP despite the obvious fact that his game can be summed up by two other letters: P and U.  

Team Craptastic: Ricky D, the Commissioner, Matt, EKE (Egyptian Khalid El-Amin), and Shahe Vujacic.  

These were the highlights of the night:

3) Wahid straining an intercostal muscle, followed by the Commissioner showing great concern over the injury and applying an impromptu sideline massage to the affected area.  What followed was more creepy/awkward than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXYHYbDxr9g

Okay, so that clip is actually pretty freaking AWESOME.  At the end, don't you find yourself half expecting them to kiss and/or remove the guitar revealing that they are actually conjoined?

2) NVE getting CRUSHED to the floor on a pick by Matt that was not called out by MVP, then 30 seconds later getting beaned in the face by a pass that the Overdribbler felt necessary to throw full force from about 3 feet away (no exaggeration).  NVE briefly considered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Er_-XZW4E, but managed to hold back.

1) When the clock hit 9:00 and we could all go home.

All in all, complete crap all night long.  Good thing we are still in the KBA preseason.

Lastly, I'd like to pour one out for BSR, the only KBA player who: 1) can reliably hit a shot outside the lane, and 2) understands the concept that not having the ball on offense doesn't mean you MUST immediately run toward the ball.  The game just ain't the same without your bombs; get well soon buddy, and here's a little tribute I put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX1YzS_CYIw
