Max's All Stars drop season opener at West 4th
Max's All Stars lost the season opener at Kenny Graham's West Fourth Street vs United Brooklyn by a final score of 95-84. Chu Maduabum, Corey Orgias, David Seagers, Dominique Jones, Doug Herring, Joshua Smith, Patrick James and Troy Whittington all played hard - but the team struggled in the 4th quarter. Overall, it's something to build on for Max's All Stars. The talent is there, just gotta clean up some of the mistakes and continue working hard.
Max's All Stars TBT 2015 Campaign
Max's All Stars is 40 votes behind for 18th place in the Northeast region for The Basketball Tournament. Only the top-18 teams get an automatic bid. After that, there will be 6 at-large bids chosen by TBT. I am writing this post to campaign for one of the six TBT at-large bids in the Northeast region (in the event that we do not automatically qualify).
I feel that Max's All Stars deserves to be one of the 6 at-large teams for TBT 2015 not only based on the number of votes we have and how hard we worked to get in this year, but last year too. Max's All Stars has supported The Basketball Tournament since day one in 2014. As soon as we heard about TBT on February 28th, 2014 - we knew our team wanted to be part of it. Unfortunately, last year we were not able to get into TBT. However, this year our team made an all out push to get in from the moment polls opened on April 1st, 2015 and we became eligible on April 17th, 2015. In terms of loyalty to The Basketball Tournament and respect for the process, Max's All Stars is one of the more deserving teams for the honor of playing in TBT.
Max's All Stars is a great promoter of The Basketball Tournament as well. Since this process began on April 1st, 2015 - our team has posted on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram constantly to recruit votes and promote TBT. We also have a website that mentions TBT and a YouTube Channel as well. One of the great things about Max's All Stars is how organized and professionally run this team is. We have the ability to promote our team and TBT in a very professional way - not like an ordinary streetball team.
Our team also tells a compelling story. To grow from a Hofstra Rec and Intramural Sports team and evolve to become Hofstra Club Basketball then eventually turn that into an unlimited pro/am team that competes in some of the most legendary leagues/tournaments around NYC is the stuff movie scripts are written about. This team is constantly on the rise and has a very proud history.
Max's All Stars roster boasts some tremendous talent as well. Veteran semi-professional basketball stars such as Branden Gibson and Kevin Pegram. Former Purchase College legends, Corey Orgias and Marvin Jr Billups. Overseas professionals Damion Staple, Dominique Jones, Doug Herring, Roscoe Johnson Jr. and Troy Whittington. Also, we feature Hofstra Club Basketball legend, Patrick James. The great thing about this roster is not just how skilled they are on the basketball court, but how close the core of this team is off the court. It's not often that you see that type of unity in a tournament like this. A lot of teams are just stars thrown together for a chance at $1,000,000 - but for Max's All Stars, getting into TBT is much bigger than that.
Hopefully, the TBT selection committee takes this into account. Thank you.
