BSR Holdout: Day 8

We interrupt this regularly scheduled KBA blog with an important note from KBA Party Chairman and High Grandmaster MBG:

"The KBA has the utmost regard for BSR's many years of service to the league. As the all-time league leader in 3-pointers, 3 point %, and days spent on the DL, we recognize his dedication and salute his contributions to the game. However, BSR's wonton disregard of the mandatory KBA "Play Through Pain" contract clause can no longer, and will not, be ignored. I hereby decree BSR to be in contempt of the KBA spirit; ex post facto, BSR is hereby immediately stricken from the KBA blog, and his records summarily attached with an asterisk. When [name redacted] chooses to step up and fulfill her obligation to KBA, we will welcome her back with open arms. I trust that this will serve as a reminder: nobody is bigger than the KBA." 

Life went on at the JM Arena (henceforth known as The 'Stache) as the KBA season reached its mid-season point. On one side, NVE joined forces with Wah-Qaeda, RG5, RG7, and It's Matt. Surely this was a force to be reckoned with, and would go on to form the next great KBA dynasty! Opposing them...

 

RG8?!
SGJ?!?!
Ricky F?!
It's Pat?!?!?
Jedi-Master?!?!

That's right KBA fans, exactly 5* players were present on the day that MBG thrust his iron fist into the labor dispute. Conspiracy theorists immediately suggested that this was a organized show of support for [name redacted], led by long-time running mate NVE. NVE denied any knowledge, shrugging and stating: "I was just planning to write his number on my shoe with a Sharpie." Reporters later noted that NVE's customary black shoes would effectively render any numerical tribute non-existent.

NVE and Wah-Qaeda paired up to take the first 5 games, before RG7 and It's Matt took the next three. Clearly suffering from delusions secondary to lactic acidosis, NVE then suggested the first ever KBA 2-on-2 full-court game. In a game that was best accompanied by a soundtrack of circus music, NVE/RG7 proceeded to defeat Wah-Qaeda/RG5 14-12.

Where in the world will [name redacted] be next week?!?!
