Everyone who came out to support the Fury vs. Bounce fundraiser for Taiwan’s typhoon relief efforts, which pulled over $1000 for the victims of Typhoon Morakot, got plenty of basketball drama for their generosity as the exhibition ended in a dramatic 52-52 tie. Well, as dramatic as a tie can be, anyway. Read More »
Friday night Jay-Z returns to the Garden… then Sunday at noon, when the smoke clears…
Fastbreak NYC presents a comparably understated affair @ MSG as the NYC Fury AKA The K1X Lower Manhattan Classic’s “Asian Dream Team” will take on Bounce Magazine in an exhibition game to support Taiwan’s relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Morakot.
Big shout out to Jake “The Snake” Choi back in Seoul for coming out from Korea and running with the squad. It was just two weeks–and half the games got rained out–but in three games, the kid made a name for himself. Put in enough work in his two K1X Lower Manhattan Classic games against X-Men (College) and Gym Rats, 40 cal asked him to run in the K1X Manhattan vs. Brooklyn game at Rodney Park. Can’t wait to see 40’s highlight cuts. Both squads definitely repped.
Now with the finished story… Read More »
Been a long minute since the last entry but since that blowout loss to Half Man, Half Amazin’s Ice Tea squad, the team has bounced back well with two solid wins over Standard & Poor and X-Men (College) who went in at 5-1. Controlled both games from beginning to end, weathering 2nd half runs in both. Still a long way to go. More on that after the cut, but first to a little business… Read More »
This summer Fastbreak NYC is sponsoring the only–if not verifiably the first–Asian-American team to play in NYC’s Men’s Open summer league circuit, the NYC Fists of Fury (www.nycfury.blogspot.com). But I don’t have any delusions that this team is anything but a work in progress. It’s like Saturday NIght Live, not-yet-ready-for-prime-time players. This an expression of solidarity, love for the asphalt and faith that basketball is basketball across any cultural divide.
This blog will be, at least in the summer, a diary for the team. I also happen to be the coach. Very big ups to Bobbito and Bounce for giving us a place to document our exploits. It’s may very well be a two-way street, a nice way for Bounce to deepen a connection and relate to an increasing Asian audience as well as great exposure for the squad. But, that puts the pressure on us to come correct. Can’t get anyone to watch bad basketball for too long–even if it is our people.
