"The Scoring Record"
Season Finale - Top 5 Games

After a long Thanksgiving Break, the Season Finale is here. Teams are trying to make the Playoffs and players are putting up unbelievable numbers. Kenneth Ubom is on pace to break the season scoring record while Robbie Banks is 7 blocks away from breaking the blocks record. Will both players make history on the last Regular Season game this decade?
Buckets vs. Association
PLATINUM DIVISION
The season scoring record has stood for 2 years and Hall of Fame-bound Kenneth Ubom is hoping to break the scoring record this weekend. Ryan "The Kid" Williams averaged 39.1 ppg and scored 313 points for TROY (Fall 2007) two years ago and this season, Ubom is averaging 39.8 ppg with 239 points. Will Ubom break the record in the Season Finale?
He will have to do it against his local gym rivals, Buckets, the reigning Gold Division Champions. Ubom doesn't like the 2-3 zone defense and he was quite vocal when a pick-up team (mostly Buckets players) used a 2-3 zone defense against him several weeks ago.
"I have no respect for them, it's a pick up game, at the gym, and they're running a 2-3?" said Ubom. "I have no respect for them."
Lately, Ubom's been motivating himself by talking to himself during games. He's been referring to himself in the third-person and last week, he put up 38 points against Screwed Up Click. The last time they met Buckets, the reigning Gold Division Champions won 73-61 and it was Walter Tamidles that was using Association's words to motivate himself.
"They said we weren't ready for Gold, Efehi said we weren't ready for Gold," said Tamidles.
Tamidles finished with 23 points and 6 three-pointers while Terrence Martin finished with 26 points and 7 rebounds. Jameel Greenwood was the third leading scorer with 13 points and he finished with 13 rebounds. GM Jonathan Wynn finished with 5 points and 4 rebounds. With Buckets at a 4-2 record (2nd place) heading into the Season Finale, GM Wynn has to be proud of his team's progress.
"Everyone had their doubts against Buckets but so far, they proved they can compete in the higher division," said a league analyst.
Association is 3-3 and GM BK Agu looks like he's fully recovered from his knee injury. He is averaging 15.7 ppg, 9.3 rpg while Fi Babatunde is averaging 7.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg. The team is averaging a franchise best 6 three-pointers per game and Ubom leads the team with 3 three-pointers per contest. If Association wants to re-claim the Championship they won 2 seasons ago, Ubom must bring the magic back by leading his team to the Playoffs. Will Association avenge a Week 2 defeat with a huge win against Buckets?
B3 Sports vs. Warriors
DIAMOND DIVISION
Top ranked team Warriors have already secured the top spot in the Playoffs with a 6-1 record. How will they compete against the defending Champions, B3 Sports Training?
Warriors GM Andrew Knox won't be suited up for his team and it's up to Warriors guard Cisco Acevado to take care of General Manager duties. It's a 3-man race for the scoring title this season between Kenneth Ubom, Cisco Acevado and Chris Reeves. Who will finish the season as the top scorer?
Kenneth Ubom, USUCK - 149 points
Cisco Acevado, Warriors - 148 points
Chris Reeves, SICKWIDIT - 145 points
The Warriors suffered their first loss of the season against USUCK on Week 7. They have some of the top scorers in their team and arguably one of the top playmakers in the division in Sean Harris. The former Regular Season and Finals MVP (Fall 2008) has a big match-up against the current Regular Season and Finals MVP Dion Bailey. Harris is averaging 16.4 ppg, 4.0 apg, 2.0 spg while on the opposite end, Bailey is averaging 13.7 ppg, 3.3 apg, 1.7 spg.
With a long two week lay-off, expect both teams to prepare for the Playoffs by taking this game seriously. The last time these two teams faced, B3 Sports suffered a double OT loss, 80-76, with Terrence Martin leading B3 with 24 points and 4 assists. He kept B3 in the game with clutch plays in regulation but missed several key shots in OT. Sean Harris finished with 28 points but it was Center and top Defensive Player of the Season candidate, Robbie Banks, that was the key difference. Banks was huge with 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

Screwed Up Click vs. nWo
PLATINUM DIVISION
If Association sweeps their double-header, nWo has no chance of making the Playoffs. Screwed Up Click has a realistic chance of making the Playoffs as well should they beat The Show and nWo in the Season Finale. Will they find a way to sneak into the Playoffs?
Screwed Up Click is 2-4 and has lost 3 straight games. All season, Amos Battle has strolled into games late and the scheduling committee figured that they'll make it easier for Battle by scheduling his first games on Week 8 near his hometown in Riverside. Will he wake up in time against The Show? Will he make the drive to nWo late in the afternoon? Surprisingly, Amos leads the team in assists with 4.6 apg and he is averaging 16.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg. Paul Marshall and Osh Dabbas are the leading scorers and they are averaging 20.7 ppg. GM Eddie Silva has to be content with the team's progress and this season, they are averaging a franchise-best 66.0 ppg.
nWo was out of the Playoffs mid-way through the season but after a double-header sweep against Relics and The Show, it looks like they're back in the hunt. Dedrick Bates is averaging a team-high 5.8 apg and he is scoring 21.5 ppg. Eduardo Gonzalez is averaging 20.7 ppg, 8.3 rpg while Omar Caro scored 32 points in his nWo debut. Alex "Bear" Ivezaj ranks 2nd in rebounds with 48 and he is averaging 12.0 rpg. Dedrick Bates leads the team with 13 three-pointers but the sharp-shooter is better suited as a playmaker as he continually looks to set up his teammates.
"He's an all-around player, and if nWo finishes the season with 4 straight wins, he should be a contender for MVP," said a league analyst.
San Miguel Beermen vs. Brotherhood
GOLD DIVISION
Brotherhood is 3-4 and the Riverside team is currently ranked 13th in Gold Division. Will they lose a Playoff spot with a loss?
A win over undefeated team Brotherhood should catapult them in the standings against all 4-4 teams. The team is playing with just 7 players but is quietly averaging a franchise-best 69.1 ppg in their 6th season. They're on pace to average a franchise best in three-pointers and so far, they have 50 three-pointers, 7 three's per game. Bobby Magby leads the team with 16 three's and he is averaging 20.8 ppg. Shaun Miller ranks 3rd in rebounds and he is averaging 10.4 rpg, 17.3 ppg. Point guard Raul Servin also ranks 3rd in assists and the division and he is averaging 3.3 apg, 5.9 ppg.
Beating San Miguel Beermen is a tough task this season and "Flight" Alphonso White is the leading MVP runner in Gold this season. He is averaging 20.8 ppg, 6.6 rpg. Chris Mirando is a top Rookie of the Season candidate and he is averaging 12.0 ppg and has a team-high 8 blocks. Rashan Haralson continues to be one of the most underrated defenders in the league and he is averaging 2.4 spg, 1.2 bpg. The excuses for a loss has already been made by San Miguel Beermen saying they won't have a full roster this week. Is a loss on the way in the Season Finale?
G.B.O.B.L.O. vs Pharcyde
LEBRONZE DIVISION
Five teams are tied with a 5-2 record in LeBronze Division. The highly anticipated G.B.O.B.L.O vs. Pharcyde match-up will finally happen as the two face off in the Season Finale.
"G.B.O.B.L.O.L. Smiley Face is a joke," said Pharcyde GM Dale Basingat. The two teams have a friendly rivalry as brother in laws prepare to battle against one another. Rewind to a couple seasons ago when GBOBLO guard Kevin Valmonte took the scoring title on the last day from Pharcyde GM Basingat.
Basingat can avenge that loss title by playing all out defense on Kevin Valmonte. Is there anyone fast enough to guard the division's leading scorer? He leads the division with 183 points and Thrillers forward Danny Martinez is 13 points away from tying Valmonte. Blocking Valmonte from securing one of his many scoring titles should motivate Basingat this week.
"Jason Hills is going out with Sal Eliazo's sister," added Basingat. "That could be a good post-rivarly match-up."
Sal Eliazo has only 5 points this season while Jason Hills is averaging 2.3 ppg with 23 points this season.
