Max's All Stars Hosts Second Annual Hall of Fame Game
On Monday, August 19th, 2019 - Max's All Stars hosted our second annual Hall of Fame Game at Basketball City. Marvin Billups Jr and John Simmons were the team captains. A draft was held on August 18th to determine the rosters for each team. The roster for Team Marvin was Damion Staple, Herman Billups, Kevin Johnson*, Kevin Young, Marvin Billups Jr (Captain), Patrick James*, Ronnie Worthen Jr, Shereef Taylor, Spencer Smith, Shereef Taylor and William Davis. Team John's squad featured Angel Gonzalez, Corey Orgias, Doug Herring, Jason Lewis, John Simmons (Captain), Kaheem Davis, Nikola Djurdjevic, Rob Thomas, Shaun Diaz and TJ Curry.
* - Kevin Johnson and Patrick James were traded from Team John to Team Marvin for future considerations prior to tip-off.
It was a highly entertaining and competitive game! Both teams played great! Team John took a ten-point lead in the fourth quarter, but Team Marvin kept fighting and overcame a seven-point deficit in the final minute. Down by three in the final seconds, William Davis hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game! In overtime, both teams exchanged baskets and after some controversial officiating the game was tied late. After Team John turned the ball over, Team Marvin got the ball back and called timeout with 00:01 left in overtime tied at 135. Shereef Taylor inbounded the ball to Herman Billups who hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the game for Team Marvin! It was an incredible finish to an amazing game! Herman's clutch game-winning three not only clinched the win for his team, but also earned him the MVP award. He finished the evening with 21 points/4 rebounds/3 steals/1 block. Full game stats are included below.
After the game we inducted four members into the Max's All Stars Hall of Fame - Rob Thomas (Class of 2018, but was not able to attend last year) and our Class of 2019 - Shereef Taylor, John Simmons and David Seagers (who was not able to attend this year). These men have made a tremendous impact on Max's All Stars over the years and we are thrilled to recognize their achievements. They have all earned their place in the Max's All Stars Hall of Fame.

Max's All Stars win 20th Annual Full Court Charity Challenge Corporate Division Championship
This past Saturday, March 16th, 2019 - Max's All Stars won the 20th Annual Full Court Charity Challenge Corporate Division Championship held at the Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center. Our team went 5-1 en route to repeating as champions! Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, John Simmons, Kaheem Davis, Marvin Billups Jr, Nikola Djurdjevic, Shereef Taylor, Spencer Smith and William Davis played hard, sacrificed and worked together to earn this title. After winning the first two pool play games with relative ease against Raptor (38-21) and Pay2Play (54-41), it looked like Max's All Stars would coast to another championship. However, a loss in the third pool play game against CTE-4-Three (37-33) served as an important wake-up call for our team that helped us refocus and lock-in. In the fourth pool play game, Max's All Stars defeated Cross Insurance by a final score of 58-50. At the end of pool play, three teams were tied for the top-2 seeds with a 3-1 record. Brickhouse earned the #1 seed, leaving Max's All Stars and Instinet to shoot it out for the #2 seed. The tiebreaker was a three-point shooting contest. Instinet shot the ball first and made it. Spencer Smith matched that made three-pointer. Then Instinet shot the ball a second time and missed. Spencer calmly nailed a three-pointer to clinch the #2 seed and all-important bye straight to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Max's All Stars defeated Cross Insurance for the second time by a final score of 49-28 to earn a spot in the championship game against Instinet. In 2017, Max's All Stars suffered a heartbreaking double-overtime defeat in the semifinals against Instinet. Two years later, we avenged that loss with a victory against Instinet in the championship game by a final score of 49-43. Winning vs Instinet definitely made this championship victory so much sweeter. Marvin Billups Jr and Spencer Smith were named co-MVP's. This is the first time in tournament history that two players shared MVP honors. It was tough to name one MVP because everyone contributed and was a huge part of this championship. This was truly a total team effort. Thank you to all the players for making the trip and leaving it all out on the court. Thank you to Bob Forlenza for organizing a great tournament as always. Big thank you to ARTEMIS, Inc. for sponsoring our team. It is an honor to compete in this tournament in support of the Nashoba Learning Group and the MGH Lurie Center for Autism. Also, shout-out to Boston University Fitness and Recreation Center for hosting this great event. Ten years after Hofstra Club Basketball made their first trip to Boston for the NIRSA NCCS Regional Tournament, Max's All Stars continued the tradition and brought another championship back to New York. This is the fifteenth championship in team history.
