In a rematch of last week’s season finale, our Nike NRF League Team Shox will take on 1st Place finishers Team Huarache in a first round showdown. NRF commissioner Jeff Staple has predicted that we will say goodbye, but I’m hoping to have a personal say in that. Yes, we lost ‘07 regular season league MVP Jason Burke to a shoulder injury, but we still have enough juice power to do this. I finished #1 in 3 pointers made per game for the fourth season in a row (check league leaders), so i’m thinking anything can happen. Ya gotta believe! Huarache is stacked, though. Their two stars both played D1, Lekeith Taylor at Southern Illinois and Christian Grant-Fields at Howard. Funny thing is, between the two squads, there are 9 Bounce/Dime staff members! So whoever wins, we’ll be rooting for the others in the next round.
If you want to come down and root for the underdog, roll to the Hudson Guild gym on 26th St. bet. 9th and 10th Ave. tonight, May 28th at 7pm. Go Shox!
Dime Mag’s Christian Grant-Fields backed me down last week, but this time round I’m fouling the pancakes out of him! We gotta win!

Christian must have been doing work. He got Whitey looking to double him and Jed with that help D looking to draw the charge in the paint. Can’t wait to hear the results of tonights game.
