Despite a "nor'easter" wreaking havoc on the tri-state area, the 8th Annual Max's All Stars Hall of Fame Game + 20th Anniversary Celebration took place as scheduled on September 26, 2026. We only had 10 players (three of whom wore pants), but that was just enough to play a traditional 5v5 basketball game. Our captains, Patrick James and Corey Orgias, held a quick pre-game draft. Once the rosters were set, the game got underway at Baruch College and Team Patrick defeated Team Corey by a final score of 86-58.

Rob Thomas, who did not even plan to play, was forced into action and took home the Kiwan Smith Hall of Fame Game MVP Award (named for Rob's cousin) after an inspiring 24-point, 5-rebound, 3-assist performance. Full game statistics are shown below.

Final Score:
Team Patrick (Blue) - 86
Team Corey (White) - 58
