Busy year.
We have definately come a long way from that tunnel on May 25th.
It was march when me and Alex sat in G Wagons living room and decided this is what we wanted. Since then the skull and crown has been making an impression.
We have recruited players from 3 other SWVL teams. We brought players out of the retirement home. We recruited ex welsh players, we recruited an excellent coach to give us a structure and discipline. We have the best uniform in the league.
We held a party in Buffalo. We have the most facebook fans of any team in the SWVL. We auctioned Timmys watch. We found funding, we held a golf tournament. We got happy when one of our players got a chance to do his music thing in naija. We watched Rosa Acosta videos over and over...
We watched god got inducted into the hall of fame.
We touched aswad.
We got naked.
We celebrated our first W with the ladies of the strip club.
We witnessed the greatest pick up artist of all time in action (catch her on an empty stomach and feed her sambuca).
We gave lap dances in hospital.
We danced like MJ.
We made basketball fun.
We won - 3-1 and still top of the table.
2010. Big year.

1) Watch this:
2) Debate John Wall being the best high school player ever.
3) Do the math.
New jersey are 27-2 - They will go lottery and have a shot at number 1 pick in the 2010 draft.
John Wall will declare for the 2010 draft.
Lebron becomes a free agent summer of 2010.
Jigga gets John Wall and bron bron?

O2 - WTF?!?
Ok, so this is the deal. Kings Basketball Social. Everybody rocked their best threads. Everyone wanted to look their best. Some people dropped a face mask. Some people got their hair cut.
That's what Timmy did. Only there was a problem.
Timmy wanted to get lined up. Like this:
Except the wait was too long. So instead he got this:
Pythagorus theorum style:

Homework!!
Distance learning brother.. It's where you sit on your ass in your house butt naked and learn stuff. Todays lesson?
Jab stepping like god. Watch the vid, digest it, and try to think about it when we play next. Especially Lloyds team.
There's also two vids from Thursday, watch them, see where you are and what you are doing. Compare that to what we are trying to run. There are notes on Vid 1 which is three blog entries down. IF you have any comments you know where I am.

Video 1
A couple of things to look at on this video
Mikes team:
1) Look at where you are setting up and where you should be
2) Look for passes you might have missed that would have been easy buckets
3) As a guard when you cut ensure you cut on the side where the ball is and give your man a target to pass to
Lloyds team:
1) Look to see when you are ball watching when you should be setting picks and creating movement
2) Notice your impatience in waiting for a pick to come
3) PLEASE shoot the ball if you get the opportunity - look at how many open shots you create then pass up - we won't score if we don't shoot
4) Think about rebounding
All in all, when watching the vid, notice how many offensive opportunities were created from the movements. Looks good right?

Great session
Thanks everybody for their hard work and enthusiasm. I like the offense a great deal and believe it suits our talents.
We have work to do but everyone seems to be up for the challenge.
I'll upload the two short videos tomorrow so you can watch yourselves.
Props to Lloydy who sent me one of the top five texts I have ever received:
"Yeah he played good. I haven't been excited about ball for a while . Got to go down on the misses, see u later"

Fucked up my secondary pussy finger
For the kings followers who don't make it to games... This is what happened last night.
Kings owned the first quarter taking a nine point lead. The lead diminished over the next three quarters under a barrage of 3's from the young Barry squad (6 in 7 minutes late in the game).
Barry take the lead for the first time in the fourth quarter as the kings players struggle to stop the young Barry guards.
In the ninth minute of the fourth quarter the game is tied 65 a peice. Barrys coach coops gets fouled and goes to the line hitting both charity shots to take a two point lead. Fung "skin tight D" then takes an offensive board and converts to tie the game up. A foul on barrys lloyd davies sends him to the line where he makes one and takes the lead. One point game with less than an offense left.
The ball gets swung around and lands in the hands of mike hollifield. Evander jacks it and rims out... Evander then catches his own offensive board with four seconds left. Instinct takes over as he goes up in traffic. Barry are forced to foul.
Fearless in the clutch evander hits his first to tie the game up, in the process preventing the kings from catching a harsh L.
A lucky escape and tough challenge going to Barry on Tuesday. If you are a kings player Reading this you know we are capable of turning this team out.
Run the offense, work hard on defense and good things will come.

Great training session last night. Blue charge to the hole! Wall sitting though?! Ouch. Mitch... If you do get dunked on, your shaving your head - that one was cocked, locked and loaded.
I learnt this from ray Quinn... Communication is key.
We bought a new match ball, and we have £350 in the bank. Subs are due, you need to pay to be eligible to play in this months games (warriors at home and 3 games vs Barry 2). Timmy is organising a sponsored sack wax > all to get involved (no buffalo).
Rucker to the garden, coming soon. Watch this......

Blue charges dating tips:
1) catch her on an empty stomach and give her some sambuca.
2) get balls deep by 10 o'clock
3) if you don't get a shag at least get to kiss her and finger her.
And don't forget the back scuttle.

From the aber valley web site...
Match Report 28/10/09
Tuesday 27th October 2009 saw Abervalley host the Cardiff Kings and kick off there 2009/10 South Wales Valleys League season.
The Kings showed with a Huge squad of 14 players. Abervalley had a fullish squad and started the game with Owain, Joel, Greg, Dai Hale and newcomer Andrew.
The first quarter was a back and forth quarter, Abervalley set up a tight zone and the Kings struggled to get anything goin. Abervalley on the other hand broke there man to man defence scoring some good points. Kings moved the ball well and took good shots. Abervalley pass the ball well and put it inside for there post players David Hale and Andrew Fullford who scored some easy points. Joel and Owain were also very effective running the court contributing to the score. Kings found some ground and scored some good baskets. First quarter ended 19 – 14 in Abers favour.
Second quarter went down hill for Aber. The Kings looked a lot sharper, run the brake well, played a tight 2-1-2 zone defence which caused Abervalley loads of trouble. Abervalleys offence become static shots just wouldn’t drop. This saw the Kings tight zone grabbing strong boards and getting the outlet pass to the runners which lead to easy baskets. Tim running the floor well for the Kings. Some nice shooting from Joel and Owian put some points on the board for Aber but the game went to half time with the Kings up 45 – 25.
Third quarter saw Abervalley get back into the game, with better movement on offence and tighter defence lead to them scoring some good baskets. Kings matched basket for basket taking advantage of Abers little mistakes. Owain and Joel for Aber making some tough shots. This was a scrappy quarter for both teams, everyone rushing there offence/defence with Aber trying to take a lead and Kings trying to hold there lead and take it further. The game went into the final quarter with the Kings up by 14
Forth quarter was a fast paced quarter with once again Kings trying to take the lead further and Aber battling to take control. A few little mistakes for Aber saw the Kings run up a little larger lead. Tim and Omar really effective shooting at will for the Kings. Aber managed to gain some composure and get the ball inside to big man Andrew for some easy points. A combined effort from Abervalley saw the game go basket for basket and got the game flowing again but the Kings proved too strong and run out the game 12 points winners ended 69 – 57.
Abervalleys Squad Captain Owain said
“A few silly mistakes from us that cost the game. The Kings came to us with a strong and deep bench they played some really good basketball at times and are definitely in with a shot of the D2 East Title. We held our own but it was our second quarter antics that cost us the game. We now have to look forward and iron out the little mistakes that cost us this game but will definitely be ready for our next meet.
Abervalleys Man Of The Match – Andrew Fullford

Tuesday 27th October 2009 saw Abervalley host the Cardiff Kings and kick off there 2009/10 South Wales Valleys League season.
The Kings showed with a Huge squad of 14 players. Abervalley had a fullish squad and started the game with Owain, Joel, Greg, Dai Hale and newcomer Andrew.
The first quarter was a back and forth quarter, Abervalley set up a tight zone and the Kings struggled to get anything goin. Abervalley on the other hand broke there man to man defence scoring some good points. Kings moved the ball well and took good shots. Abervalley pass the ball well and put it inside for there post players David Hale and Andrew Fullford who scored some easy points. Joel and Owain were also very effective running the court contributing to the score. Kings found some ground and scored some good baskets. First quarter ended 19 – 14 in Abers favour.
Second quarter went down hill for Aber. The Kings looked a lot sharper, run the brake well, played a tight 2-1-2 zone defence which caused Abervalley loads of trouble. Abervalleys offence become static shots just wouldn’t drop. This saw the Kings tight zone grabbing strong boards and getting the outlet pass to the runners which lead to easy baskets. Tim running the floor well for the Kings. Some nice shooting from Joel and Owian put some points on the board for Aber but the game went to half time with the Kings up 45 – 25.
Third quarter saw Abervalley get back into the game, with better movement on offence and tighter defence lead to them scoring some good baskets. Kings matched basket for basket taking advantage of Abers little mistakes. Owain and Joel for Aber making some tough shots. This was a scrappy quarter for both teams, everyone rushing there offence/defence with Aber trying to take a lead and Kings trying to hold there lead and take it further. The game went into the final quarter with the Kings up by 14
Forth quarter was a fast paced quarter with once again Kings trying to take the lead further and Aber battling to take control. A few little mistakes for Aber saw the Kings run up a little larger lead. Tim and Omar really effective shooting at will for the Kings. Aber managed to gain some composure and get the ball inside to big man Andrew for some easy points. A combined effort from Abervalley saw the game go basket for basket and got the game flowing again but the Kings proved too strong and run out the game 12 points winners ended 69 – 57.
Abervalleys Squad Captain Owain said
“A few silly mistakes from us that cost the game. The Kings came to us with a strong and deep bench they played some really good basketball at times and are definitely in with a shot of the D2 East Title. We held our own but it was our second quarter antics that cost us the game. We now have to look forward and iron out the little mistakes that cost us this game but will definitely be ready for our next meet.

08/09 cavs style
A win is a win is a win. It doesn't matter who starts, who finishes, how many players you have on the court, which end you score on, how many points you score, who watches, where the game is played etc etc.
A win is a win is a win.
So kick some shit:
Mike hollifields first win with the skull and crown on his chest.
Blue charges first game points.
Kings basketball first away win.
Kings basketball first win wearing red.
We are now undefeated in league games. 2 and 0.
We got some stuff to go over. But don't forget that we got that pink slip. Got that W. That's all we need.
Show some support Sunday.
Go Kings!

Crick who?
Blogging as promised mr George.
I like this feeling.
Starting the season hosting crickhowell was always going to be a challenge. Wicked chicken wes was like.. Stick a body on modge and we good.
Props to OZ#4, Lloydy, Timmy and Mitchell for the full court d on the guards.
Props to everybody for chipping in on the offensive end.
Sharif for doing a number on modge. Blue charge for scrapping with x man. Gwag for doing the table and Fung for being a club man. Aaron for the invite to the live performance.
Shouts to alex for what was possibly the quickest four fouls ever seen..
It's coming together, listening to ted is paying off. Plus it's good to put a smile on the boss' face.
Geoffrey 'pay me and I'll dance for you' Fletchers man of the match: Timmy 37 points Cowan.
Grabbing a W. Buckets of Corona. Leaving strippers hanging. What a thursday.
We've come a long way.
So Tuesday then... But for now...
Scorers to follow.
Ps. Timmy... Who's your mate??????????????????????????

Team work makes the dream work
In case you weren't listening on Wednesday, team work makes the dream work. Anything less than 100% makes us look like cunts. We started this team to have something of our own. Something to be proud of that everyone was involved in. Are you giving 100%? Or are you acting like a cunt?
