Yes folks, after a one year hiatus spent revolutionizing the point center position in the NKBA, NVE made his much-anticipated debut return to KBA. NVE returned just in time for the customary one game KBA pre-season, which was lightly attended as many regulars opted to rest up for the impending regular season. Upon his arrival, NVE was greeted by longtime KBA veterans BSR, Ricky F, Wah-Qaeda, and Sashe Vujacic among others. NVE commented: "It feels great to be back, it's like I never even left!" And indeed, it felt like 2007 all over again as the start of KBA was held up by a locked gate and sparse attendance.
Nevertheless, the pre-season finally kicked off and featured furious 4 on 4 action. The squad led by BSR and NVE raced out to a quick lead and never looked back en route to a 4-0 broom job over the Ricky F led "team". The series sweep was punctuated by Ricky F meltdowns vs bleachers (game 2), basketball (game 3), and teammates (games 2, 3, 4). After game 3, Ricky F was observed sulking on the bench, peering intently at his iPhone. Surveillance cameras at the John Martin Arena were able to obtain the following screen capture shots:
With the KBA regular season excitement building to an all-time high, KBA immediately shut down for the LAUSD-mandated monthly "floor cleaning".
Three weeks later, the regular season began. Following the highly suspicious free-throw draft in the preseason game (highlighted by a NVE FT rocketing off the side of the backboard and nearly going out of bounds), Andytollah announced that he would channel his Iranian namesake and take ultimate control of the KBA draft. NVE and BSR were joined by Armenian Kobe, It's Pat, and the Andytollah himself. Who made up the opposition? Both EVERYBODY and NOBODY.
The game was delayed 10 minutes while Andytollah received medical clearance from league physicians NVE and BSR for an undisclosed medical condition. Details were not released, but a followup RPR in 6 months was recommended.
The first two games were a blur of slashing layups by Armenian Kobe through the Ricky F-designed defense, and a fusillade of downtown bombs from BSR. Bored with mere spotup 3s, BSR opted to raise the degree of difficulty by taking the following shot on game point in Game #2. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgSmpCAq4-4). In the real upset of the night, there was nary a mention of team reshuffling from Ricky F as the next two games ended up the same fashion as the first two - completing the second consecutive series sweep vs a Ricky F led squad. Review of game tape showed that Andytollah actually left midway through the 3rd game to get a hot dog, and returned to the court just in time to score the game winning layup.
Game #5 (yeah, because the only thing better than a four game sweep vs Ricky F is a FIVE game sweep): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R9ne3ol6uY
BSR/NVE record in Games That Count vs Ricky F: 9-0
