AFBL Season #9 is coming this December. Prepare yourselves, get your shorts or sweatpants (Ballzman) ready.

Better late than never the stats from the 2nd to last day of AFBL are here. Also, as a bonus (or penalty, depending on how you see it) you can view every game on viddler. So let’s break it down, player by player (in order of fantasy value, lowest to highest). Full stats here.
Roger Estes: [...]

Season 8 came to a close on Saturday. The season was a success on the whole and we’ve managed solid numbers all year long. Some new players helped breathe new life into the league. Roger Estes came with unbridled energy and never seen before willingness to hit the floor. John Folmar brought his skill and [...]

AFBL has been cruising along with some great turnout numbers. The most shocking development so far this year has been the influx of actual basketball footwear on previous skate shoe wearing art fags. Ben Jones has basketball sneakers now, and now the Ballzman has donned some fancy addidas kicks. I never thought he’d stray from [...]

AFBL Season 8 started with an official bang on Saturday. We had at least 13 players, some notable rookies (Roger Estes & Brian Yetzer) and the triumphant return of Jim Houser after a full season off. The start delay, from our usual October, helped elevate the urgency of everyone involved.
The first series of games were [...]

The day before the ABFL season begins is always a special time. It makes me look back at all the amazingly bad shot selection, the passes to no one, the dribbles off of feet and the joy in everyone’s face after a made basket or the end of a long drawn out game. Season 8 [...]

Another season of AFBL is at an end. Come on out be in the group photo, maybe join the dunk contest with a mini-trampoline, and enjoy the usual erratic play. Come on out for one last indoor run at McCall School, until Season 8 kicks off next October.

Season 7 is flying by. We’ve had some weeks of low turnout, but we’ve also had more newcomers than the last two years combined. Also, three – yeah count em – three ladies have played and made an impact in AFBL season 7.
Once again there are trials and successes, and lots of missed layups. Despite [...]

Like all AFBL seasons past, there are always some bumps in the road. We hit our first in week 2 of season 7. There was some non-communication from the parks & rec and we were temporarily booted from our hallowed indoor court. Damn do-gooders! But, the troops soldiered on, and play commenced quickly on the [...]

A new feature for 07-08, meet the new AFBL rookies. First up, Ethan Conner-Ross. By day Ethan shuffles papers and makes pie charts (sometimes bar graphs), but on weekends starting tomorrow – he’ll be on the hard linoleum of McCall Elementary school playing basketball. I did a little Q&A with Ethan to prepare the league [...]
