And now we turn to two-time NABA All-Star (retired) Connor Horan…

Over the weekend, in what has been labeled the “game of the century,” Team Truman squared off against Team Nicotra. In a contest plagued by spotty officiating, Truman’s team held off team Nicotra.  After a controversial double technical foul was called late in the first half, the momentum swung to Team Truman- and they never looked back, winning by a score of 43-39.  This nail biting game gave the fans a sneak peak at the likely championship matchup between these two squads.

In other news, the NABA All-Star team has been assembled, and Vimalon Ahrunmozi was inexplicably left off the squad.  Vima, who finished third in the MVP race, was the most notable all-star snub.  It has been rumored that the all-star coaches have offered Vima a spot on the squad as the waterboy, but, according to my sources, it is unclear whether or not Vima will accept this offer.

Back to you in the studio, Max.
