2/7/12 - The Phone Call That Changed KBA History

2/7/12 was just another day in the KBA.  As usual, the regulars took the court, headed by Shahe Vujacic, BSR, NVE [record screech]...huh?!?!

That's right KBA fans!!  After a 7 month absence, former KBA veteran NVE made an unexpected return to KBA for a one-night stand!  NVE is currently on loan from NKBA, where he has revolutionized the point center position.  Asked before the game, NVE stated: "It's just feels so great to be back where I have so many memories!  Umm...I get to play for free, right?"

In terms of comebacks, it ranked somewhere below this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDu2Q7D3URtfvWRWTq-hmCZiEYQ8NSqZxJRHcrj04Di-zqmTez4FDlYYx5cUAqzk3wweBMR7cimhBqU8Xft6WKfSlkolIFqVMXIThjeugCkvdjiQWWpN1fkTGW-s1akxbQfX8nYo7clK3b/s400/michael-jordan-1995.45.jpg, and just slight above that: http://cdn2.tauntr.com/sites/default/files/favre_retirement.jpg

After the warm welcomes, KBA returned to status quo as Ricky F assembled a juggernaut squad headed by himself, BSR, Persian Mamba, and Sneaky Quick Indian Dude.  The team quickly polished off their first opponent (including NVE), with Persian Mamba scoring on a series of dazzling forays to the basket and daggers from the outside.  The team was looking unstoppable when fate struck and BSR was called away by phone and summarily replaced on the roster.  With the game well underway upon his return, BSR made the critical decision to leave the reigning champions and join the expansion Kaizer Cheefs.  In the interim, Matt and Jekyll/Crap entered the gym, joining KBA veterans NVE, Shahe Vujacic, and BSR.

Fresh off two early victories, Ricky F's squad entered the Game #3 as heavy favorites over the Kaizer Cheefs.  However, the Cheefs elected to implement an innovative strategy: Piston Bad Boys on D, and the AYSO Laker offense on O.  When asked before the game about facing his old team, BSR denied any hard feelings and stated "It's just another game on the schedule."  Pregame locker room reports, however, had BSR specifically requesting the "Mamba" role in the AYSO offense.  What happened next, indeed, belied such niceties:

When it was all over, the stat line had KBA historians running for the record books.  BSR had poured in an incredible 12 pts (on a game to 14), or NBA game-adjusted 83 pts.  As Ricky F stomped off the court frothing at the mouth, the Cheefs celebrated on the sideline, somewhat stunned at their upset.  There was no rest for the giant-killers, however, as another heavyweight squad lay waiting immediately.  After passing the first ever league-mandated in-game test for performance enhancers, BSR then proceeded to put the Cheefs on his back, scoring 100% of his team's output in the next game and capping off the game with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyUWrHJFULk

Let's break down the numbers for BSR during the greatest two-game performance in KBA history:

PTS: 26 pts (out of 28 possible)
3PT: 4.0 per game
Team record: 2-0
NBA game adjusted: 92.8 PPG!!!
Assists: 0.0

As the cries of "Manie-joon! Manie-joon!" rang down from the rafters and sales of buddy tape shot up 367% on Amazon immediately after the game, BSR strolled out to the parking lot, where he accepted the Nobel Prize in gaming theory by solving the previously indecipherable EA disco algorithm.  As stunned reporters asked BSR what could possibly come next, BSR casually replied: "I've been working on a few things on the side.  I'll let you know at the official unveiling of my perpetual motion machine next week."

And with that promise of even greater deeds to come, BSR waved beatifically to his adoring fans, proceeded to gently levitate into the air, and disappeared amongst the stars.
