So, from previous threads here are the rankings for this year's ANA Basketball:
1. DC - the reigning champions
2. Dallas - the first runner up
3. Boston
4. New York

Are there any other teams participating this year?
What about the Bay Area team with the twins.

Look out for the Manang team...They have a few SAS players who were known all over Darj district then...Heard dey b ballin real tight!!

Whats SAS? And, when u say the Manang team, are u referring to MMC? And is that the same MMC team that came to last year's ana?

No...that MMC team was just made to participate. This year, they've recruited all new players: guys who were districk champions at St. Augustine's, a basketb-ball powerhouse in Kalimpong (Darjeeling district). Heard through the grapevine that 2 members are former national players. However, the only problem would be that they're not in NY and practices are being conducted without them. Lets hope they have enough games together before the tourney...BTW, Am gonna be supporting them and our NY's own NYNYC.

That is going to be a tough team then. What about NYNYC? How do you think they will do? and who are their top players?

NYNYC is gonna be the same NY team from last year...They got height and the buld to take on any other team out there but they're a young team with lil experience together. However, heard they b workin real hard these days!! Look out!

I bet NYNYC is good. Last time I saw them in the semis in NJ, they were leading at half vs the eventual champs DC.

go DCCCCCCCCC

goodluck to all the teams

Who do you guys think will win the MVP this time around?

i should be getting mvp this time...its my year hehe

Bigballar, I like that confidence, what team do you play for? Were you last year's MVP too?

Ok..BigBaller, for that your team's gotta win and I heard Boston's not taking part this year. :(

Common man, dont tell me bigballer plays for Boston. I am sorry to say I saw no MVP candidates on that team. All I remember is this one guy from ny killing the whole entire Boston front line. I think the whole front line fouled out or something...

sleepyspur, was just playing around...The kid's from Dallas!!

Really... lol
Well, no hard feelings, we r just talking trash anyway...
I think this year's tournament is going to be the most exciting. The number of quality teams will make this year very interesting.. Objectively speaking, I think DC has to be considered the favorites... they have solid role players and one player with balls of steel... NINJA!

Sleepyspur, Like I said, NYNYC has an answer to DC'S NINJA...Our own SHAOLIN bhai (with balls of Titanium)!! LOL

As always, ANA basket-ball will be a treat this year. I wish more people attended the socer games (the organizers need to schedule it during the evenings instead of early mornings...damn, the players gotta party too and waking up early the next moring is just bull*).

R u foreal that Boston's not coming this year??? oh man i will miss themm since they played us in the semis last year.... anyways ninja bro still hanging around?? ... so whose the manang team? r they the young team who wore orange jersey those high school kids?? cuz as far as i rmr there were 2 high skool kkids teamm one from bay area and other from NY (they were goood)

Big Baller, will dallas have the same squad as last year?

Bigballar, the high schooler from NY ain't gonna be there...I hope he somehow miraculously makes it! BTW, the Manang team is a whole new team. I heard they are the dark horses of the tourney (they got 2 new players who are said to be brilliant).

All the best to your Dallas team...This time we'll be in the finals (with or without you guys)!! LOL
