Do you play at the Med Center Gym on BullFrog Valley Road?

My wife went thru HMU and got a MS/PhD. I worked and got to play with the Medical Students and spouses.

Good times!

Before we had kids, played in the Carlisle 3on3, Gus Macker at Hburg & State College, and in the E-Town 3on3. We also played in a bunch of leagues, included the Lebonan Summer league with LVC and their then coach (Pat Flannery) who went on to lead my College to some NCAA victories a few years later.

Wife, and kids? 3on3 tournaments? Work?

That's a little too real life for a make believe game!

Come on guys, what do you have to say about the game... your team, my team, anyone's team...

30 point wooping at the hands of the Blue Grass...

Cannot put it all on the intensity of play. Guess I need to retool some more.

Surprised to see you run a TIE and a full court press, Bookie. 2 things we do well is play defense and make free throws, both of those helped, but to outrebound you by 25+ was a surprise. Looking forward to tne rematch at your place. Seems like alot of teams getting beat because they coasted....

and you play pretty good outside defense against a team that was looking for outside shots...

That will be something I need to change.

Wow, Cliff Duncan sold for 3.1m? Nice. I purchased Bill Isom for 2.2m in s25, and that was considered a bit of an overpay. Seems like the TL prices have went up quite a bit since then.

Personally, I would have kept Duncan - would have made a great NT & U21 prospect, which I value greatly.

I think it's a good thing; but it's pushed spending. That said, 3.1 million for a rookie with a low salary...to go to a D4 team in Turkey? Congratulations, sure. PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute...but there's a lot more people being born than in his day.


Managers will pay top price for the cream of the crop; with well rounded skills, and HOF potential - Duncan is the crème de la crème. The manager from turkey can easily make a 1-2m profit off Duncan after extensive training is done. I know US managers who were willing to pay top dollar for Mr. Duncan.

While I'd rather draft my prospects, I too would pay top dollar for a particular type of US prospect; to have one of the best American players in world, playing for your club & country, that would be awesome if you ask me.

Ever since I got into BB I have always walked the razor's edge with finances. I've always sacrificed savings for winning and trying to promote.

I started pricing what rookies of that caliber were going for and I decided to pull the trigger on selling him to get breathing room for a rebuild or rebuild on the fly.

I have been training an MVP level prospect for the last 2 seasons that started well rounded, and I got a really good 19 yo Per AS with great guard stats to work with. So that made the decision a little easier. It was very tempting to keep Duncan, but I figured selling him was the way to go.
