Max's All Stars win 300th game in team history

THREE HUNDOOO!!!

On November 5th, 2024 - Max's All Stars reached 300 victories with a 76-70 win over Noodle Dogs at Chelsea Piers! Who would have thought? It's hard to put into words what this milestone means. When we were starting out at Hofstra University in 2006, no one could have envisioned all this.

⭐️ 300 wins
⭐️ 20 championships
⭐️ Countless players who have become family

We have encountered so many amazing people on this basketball journey. The lifelong friendships and memories that we've created on the road to 300 wins will be cherished forever. Thank you to all the players over the years + our families and friends. Without all of you, none of this would be possible. The Max's All Stars family continues to grow and it's a beautiful thing. Hopefully, we will be celebrating more wins, championships, and life moments together! Love you all to death!

Max's All Stars win Spring 2024 NYC Basketball League Championship

The Olympics are underway, but Max's All Stars already earned our gold medals! 🥇

On Monday, July 22nd - Max's All Stars won the Spring 2024 NYC Basketball League Championship. We defeated the #1 seed, Slick Willie's, by a final score of 78-68. This championship was all about redemption. Losing the championship game last season by a single point definitely fueled us. We also lost to Slick Willie's during the regular season, so beating them for the title was definitely sweet. Max's All Stars finished this season with a 9-1 record. Thank you to all our players - Angel Gonzalez, Branden Gibson, David Seagers, Doug Herring, Gerrel Irvin, Gio Gabbidon, Kaheem Davis, Kevin Major, Marvin Billups Jr, Nikola Djurdjevic, Patrick James, Robert Hueston, and Shereef Taylor. Also, thank you to Bryson Lassiter and Jordan Vidal for filling in along the way. This was a challenging season for Max's All Stars. Our players battled numerous injuries, we had to work around different schedules and availabilities - but we were able to piece it together and bring home the 20th championship in the history of our men's team.

This championship game capped off a special few days for our team. First, our Hall of Fame Game and then this championship. Seeing our players bring their families on a Monday night was so special. This is what Max's All Stars is all about! Thank you to everyone for your love and support!

Another big thank you to Silky C Productions for capturing it all on camera!

6th Annual Max's All Stars Hall of Fame Game

Saturday, July 20th, 2024 - we hosted the 6th Annual Max's All Stars Hall of Fame Game. Our captains were David Seagers (Team Dave) and Spencer Smith (Team Ross). This might have been one of the most electric Hall of Fame Games we've ever had! Team Ross defeated Team Dave by a final score of 111-103. William Davis DOMINATED, shattering the single-game scoring record with an absurd 57 points! (Yes, you read that correctly. It is not a typo. 57 POINTS!!) He went home with the Kiwan Smith Most Valuable Player Award. Willie was also one of three recipients of the Max's All Stars Hall of Fame Achievement Award this year, along with Kevin Pegram and Shaun Diaz.

This has become one of the marquee Max's All Stars events. It is a tradition that everyone eagerly anticipates. The amazing thing is that each year, this event continues to get better and better. Having our families all there, the kids playing together - it's such a beautiful thing.

Thank you to all the players who made the trip from near and far to participate and all our families/friends for coming to show love and support. Special thanks to Ren Hsieh and The Dynasty League for providing the gym rental and referees; to Dicky Fung and NYC Basketball League for providing scorekeeping; and to Silky C Productions for capturing everything (the photos/videos are 🔥). Also, thank you to East End Bar and Grill for hosting our post-game festivities (shoutout to Richie). The Max's All Stars jerseys were provided by Wooter, the Kiwan Smith Most Valuable Player Award was provided by Zazzle, and the Hall of Fame Achievement Awards were provided by Crown Awards.
