All I Do Is Win - Article on Blazers Scoring Duo

 ALL I DO IS WIN

I got getting buckets in, on my mind and I can’t get enough of it.

   Prince Lal & Michael Bains - During the season I had many conversations with people helping out with Roundball on more than one occasion about how amazing of a duo  of cousins Prince Lal and Michael Bains are. Basically there like a Tracy McGrady & Vince Carter, family affair tandem forming a duo to completely anialate there opponents leaving no survivors behind. I really like to compare these two to Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen, this may seem to be a little too high of a ranking but honestly these guys have the determination of those two great legends. Both are good all around players and great offensive threats.

   Both players are leading their team to elite status with their duel presence on the hardwood. Together it looks like there leading their team to Roundball`s first ever men’s championship and its most likely not stopping there for these two young guns. Prince Lal Roundball’s leading scorer has been playing with heart, showing fans his 3 point shooting pre-game warm-up routine alongside the real game scenario when hes cashing balls for real’s from downtown. Then there is Michael Bains with his hard nose  offence and defence powering through the lane, and dropping threes from far beyond the three point line. His game is comparable to the likes of Kevin Durant producing a scoring and defensive touch to his arson.

  Prince Lal is explosive, Michael Bains is a beast together they form a potent backcourt combo. From a viewers perspective Michael Bains  is the leader on the Pinetree Blazers proving to play efficient and not complain, on the other hand Prince Lal remains a fun-to-watch player reigning three`s from downtown. You would be hard-pressed to name ten players in Roundball who could shoot the ball better than Prince Lal.

   Seriously did both players have instant incredible chemistry when they met in the line-up at the hospital, because it’s for sure showing on the hardwood? Well anyways both these players are tremendous at both ends of the floor, I personally think that this is the best duo that exists in Roundball basketball today. You basically have a dynamic duo any team would love to have in their arson and it just happens to exists on the Pine Tree Blazers. Let’s just all hope that this duo doesn’t  turn out like Stockton & Malone who were two legends that walked away without a championship playing alongside each other for a very long time.

Rumble Ready - Article on Roundball Pointguards

Rumble Ready

This for sure Deeper than a Rap Battle

   Taran Vs Paul – Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams, Derrick Rose vs. Rajon Rondo, these are all amazing battles between the NBA’s best point guards that we all love to watch. Well don’t forget about Surrey’s Round ball’s best point guard match-up Paul Bains vs. Taran Nijjar. I would honestly say it’s the best point guard battle I have seen apart from the famous NBA ones. You got hands down the best passer who leads Roundball with assists as we speak in Paul Bains vs. a duel threat scoring/ passing point guard in Taran Nijjar.

   As I watched Taran's game evolve to greater heights every night it definitely made me say aaaah it kind of felt like watching Deron Williams breaking down his defender and taking it to the cup, well ladies and gentleman Roundball has its own D-Will in Taran Nijjar who brings his own flare to Roundball with his classic old school look with his jersey tucked in on a consistent nightly basis waiting to aaaah fans watching him from the sidelines. From a fans perspective i love to see him play because he brings a certain time of elegance on a nightly basis proving to be a scoring threat and always showing great court vision.

  Then we have Paul Bains a first pass point guard with a killer crossover that if were compared to any NBA player I would say Chris Paul. Ever since I’ve watched Roundball this year I couldn’t wait to see Paul take his talents to the hardwood and strive for that win for his team. Every time I watch Paul Bains he makes me say oh ah wow man i wish i could pass like that and have tremendous court vision and tremendous quickness like he’s proven to be capable of. He even has a team similar to that of Chris Paul`s New Orleans Hornets with teammate Nathan Mathews being a David West like player on the hardwood. 

  When it comes down to the wire I really don’t know who I would pick to be my starting PG but if I had the chance to take both I without a doubt would. Both these point guards share something special among themselves and their bringing that to Roundball basketball. Both these players have tremendous court vision and that’s what you would want from a player that you would like to quarterback your team. These two cutting edge point cards are most definitely ranked top 3 point guards in Roundball Basketball.

How Pocket Full of Sunshine`s attitude impacted 

their season and the rest of Roundball

    Pocket Full Of Sunshine – Early on in the season the P.F.O.S. were just an elite group of older teens led by Gurmeet Paur, who were like any other group of teens trying to do new things in life and have fun with it and try to ride it out good or bad. At the beginning of Roundball’s first men’s season these teens looked like they had the skills to compete with older and younger men. They basically had everything a team would want, quickness, size, passing, and most of all talent to compete at a men`s basketball league at such a young age.

  Actually when I first saw P.F.O.S. compete I thought starting pg/sg Parm Matham was John Wall for a second but then I looked at their height and found out that I was definitely wrong with my predication, but as the season started to progress P.F.O.S. really didn’t achieve their goals as young Roundball players, well I mean they weren’t winning games, I was even rooting for them win or lose while I took their stats down.

   The main focus is that these gentlemen never gave up no matter what the circumstances were even if they lost by 50 they were there the next week ready to compete on a high level of basketball, until the final week of Roundball showed up, P.F.O.S. showed up as usual and were fully determined to get that win, and finally they did get that win, me and many other people were very much happy for this young group of men. They didn’t do it on their own they also had help from Jordan & Jamie Bains`s father Charm Bains, who guided and coached the team with confidence & determination regardless of how many points were put on the board.

To be honest I’ve never seen such a talented group of teens never whine about any small or big thing even when others would complain about game related issues, this elite group of teens never argued or did bad stuff but rather they kept their mouth shut and played the game they loved with passion. This group of teens achieves the highest honour of respect from me and many others out there because they had determination like no other, even though they had only won 1 game they are champions in my books.
