TAKEOVERS ARE 2016 CHAMPIONS!
The Takeovers are the 2016 NBB Finals Champions! The Takeovers defeated the Knights in a close one that came down to the wire! Takeovers won by 1 point with the final score 15-14. Anthony Grandinetti hit the game winning shot with .14 seconds left with his team trailing by 1. That shot put them up by 1 and their defense at the end made them keep the lead until the finish. All 3 members of the Takeovers had 5 points. TAKEOVERS: Anthony Grandinetti - 5 pts, 8 reb, 3 ast. Zach Patterson - 5 pts, 5 rebs, 3 ast. Sean Matos - 5 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast. KNIGHTS: Jimmy Stepanski - 11 pts, 5 reb, 0 ast. Mike Saracino - 3 pts, 8 reb, 2 ast. Noah Mirro - 0 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast. With this win, that makes AG a 4X Champion. The celebration is all in for the Takeovers! Congratulations!

THE TAKEOVERS WILL FACE THE KNIGHTS IN THE FINALS!
The Takeovers will go up against the (SC) Knights in the 2016 NBB Finals. This is the first time the newly formed Takeovers team is in the Finals and the second straight consecutive year the Knights are in it. The Takeovers are only the second team in NBB history to form a new organization in the off season and make it to the Finals. The Jawns were the first. This will be Anthony Grandinetti's 4th time in the Finals. It will be an interesting match up no doubt.

2016 NBB PLAYER OVERALLS UPDATED!
The fully updated NBB Roster Overalls have been posted and you can find them in the "OVERALLS" section. These overalls are based on the last time that person has played in NBB. Each over was put fairly and took weeks to put together. If a player's overall is not what expected, that player could get his overall boosted but the only way that is possible is showing improvement in and out of the NBB. Boosts can happen to a player if noticed that that player is better then what overall they have gotten. There are decreases in which a player's overall can go down. If that is, that means the player has not lived up to the overall expectation and must have a lower rating. Again, overalls will change frequently...so don't be surprised when they do.

GET READY FOR THE 2016 NBB ALL STAR!
With the NBB All Star Game/Competition coming up, many still awaiting the names of the players who will be involved in this great event. Still, there is no word on who will be in it but there is information that names will be drawn up randomly and will be released as early as next month. In the order above, it shows that the Three Point Contest will be first, followed by the Slam Dunk Showcase, and ending with the All Star Game. You can picture that the All Star Game will most likely feature all the star players in the NBB today so it should be a no-brainer that players like Ben Donahue, Joe Layaou, Jon Weybrecht, Michael Lyons, etc. will all be a part of it. As for the Three Point Contest, it really could be anyone but mostly the sharp shooting three point men like Joe Layaou, Jude Height or even last years defending champion, Jimmy Stepanski. The Slam Dunk Showcase could feature past players like 2014 & 2015 NBB Slam Dunk Champion Ben Donahue or Jon Weybrecht, or even Anthony Grandinetti. As of right now, it is unknown who will be participating in this years All Star but coming from the words of AG, everyone star should be in it.

ROAD TO THE FINALS BEGIN!
We are on our way to the seventh annual 2016 NBB Finals. This year the stakes are higher. Teams have become more powerful and hungry for a championship then they have ever been. Both the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference have teams that have a great possibility of making to the Finals but only 1 team from each conference will headline this years Finals game. In both conferences there are four teams. Only three teams from both conferences will advance to the playoffs leaving two teams behind. Six teams will move on competing in game 1 elimination to continue their road. The #1 seed for both conferences are what most people believe have the better chance of making it to the Finals but anything is possible. Guess we will have to wait till the summer to find out who will take home the trophy!

THE 2016 NBB ALL STAR COMPETITION INFORMATION!
The 3rd Annual NBB All Star Competition is roughly around a couple months away. That may seem like a long time away but the start of a new year means the road to the All Star Weekend and names of players from the activities and games are being rumored. At this time, there is no words on any players who will be participating in any of the events or even if there will be any All Star activities such as the Three Point Contest and Slam Dunk Showcase. There is, however, a lot of talk of the players who will be in the All Star game. NBB Chairman/Player Anthony Grandinetti says he will being doing everything in his power to get all All Star players in the league to be in the game. He named a few players such as Ben Donahue, Joe Layaou, Jon Weybrecht, Tony Molitoris, Michael Lyons, Anthony Khoudary and even himself. He also says he wants to see former All Star players such as Zach Patterson, Jimmy Stepanski, Jude Height, etc. all join. He even mentioned adding Jason Stachokus, a upcoming scouting player who AG believes will "dominate". There is still plenty of time before the All Star Competition, so over all this time, we will keep you updated on anything surround the 2016 All Star Game and Activities.

NBB NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!
2016 will not only be another year for the NBB, but will be the 7th Anniversary of the league. Debuting back in early 2010, the NBB has grown from more players, more events, and better social media access. Over the past 7 years, there has been 7 Championships won, 7 Finals MVP's won, 2 Memorial Day Championships won, 1 Halloween Finals Championship won, 2 All Star Championships won, 2 All Star MVP's won, 1 Three Point Champion won, and 2 Slam Dunk Champions won. With all NBB players reaching their final years in High School, this could be the beginning of the end knowing once High School is over for the players, it will be too difficult to reunite every player as a lot will be in college. So as for everyone in the NBB, we hope these next final few remaining years are epic and like always...Greatness Awaits.

RED MAMBAS ARE 2015 NBB CHAMPIONS!
The Red Mambas make it championship number 2 with their victory wins over the Canadians in the first round and the defeating the Knight in the championship. The last time the Mambas won an NBB Championship was back in 2013 when the Mambas had Mike Ayala. This year, the "real" Red Mambas reunited with Jude Height, Jimmy Stepanski, & Dylan Weybrecht. The MVP of the game was Dylan Weybrecht out-scoring all the other players. "It really was a surprise." NBB Chairman Anthony Grandinetti said. "Knowing that Dylan Weybrecht got an NBB Championship before his brother (Jon Weybrecht). Grandinetti had nothing big to say about falling in the first round to the Mambas only stating "They were the better team." after the night was over.

2015 NBB All-Star WeekEND
The NBB All-Star weekend wraps up and it was a crazy weekend. First, Jimmy Stepanski won the 3-Point Contest with recording 8 three pointers in one to become 3 point champion. Then the East defeats the Wests 50-40 in an all out fun match-up between the best. Anthony Grandinetti had the most points in the game with 19 but didn't win the game, therefor, he couldn't have been MVP. Instead, winning teammate Jon Weybrecht, won the MVP spot with 18 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.
