Season 58...Their place in the MBA Universe...retirees take their places of rest

 

Season 58 Post-Season Summary

BACK ON TOP

--Philadelphia becomes the 18th team to win the MBA title after leading the league in defense and the first since Dallas in Season 52. Nineteen teams have won the title after leading the league in offense.

PLAYOFF MVP 

-- Juzan Djinn captures his unprecedented fourth Playoff MVP award, despite playing for the losing team in the Finals. He is the 17th player in history to do so. He moves past Cappy Gambol and Stu Nod, with 3 each.

-- This honor ties him with Curly Hogbottom for the top spot on the MBA pyramid...and his career continues next season.

-- His 6 overall MVP honors ranks third all time, tied with Cappy Gambol and trailing only Naf Naf and Chip Battoe, who finished with 7 each.

--He moves past Chip Battoe as the greatest player in the history of the Dallas franchise.

NEWEST HALL OF FAMER

-- Luwak becomes the 65th member of the MBA Hall of Fame -- elected by the Veterans Committee

-- He was a member of the most spectacular rookie class ever assembled in Season 52, when he and fellow teammates Biggus Dickus and Pete "the Steakman" Marzano, all future Hall of Famers, all ended up on the Dallas Demons via the draft and in Marzano's case, a trade that sent Hall of Fame center J.J. Gargantuan to Sacramento. Luwak emerged as Rookie of the Year that season, which saw "the Whiz Kids" begin their string of a record six consecutive championships. He led his team in scoring his rookie year, followed by his All-MBA season in Season 53 in which he led the league in scoring. 

-- He lost his starting job to Hall of Fame guard Vicious Hick in his third season, was traded in an unprecedented deal to Charleston where he was a main man on a team that challenged Dallas for championships but came up short each time. 

-- His short career still places him 52nd of the 875 players ever to suit up for the MBA. That's roughly the upper 6 percent of all players ever made.

Season 58 MBA Finals Game 5 Title Contest...Dallas at Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA 63, DALLAS 52

PHOBIA RECLAIMS THE THRONE

PHILADELPHIA -- Using its league-leading defense to all of its smothering capability, the Philadelphia Phobia snuffed out the six-time-defending champion Dallas Demons 63-52 to capture the Season 58 title, 63-52.

The franchise-leading 17th championship in MBA history put an end to Philadelphia's longest championship drought...14 seasons. 

This title-winning Game 5 effort was the best defensive showing in the playoffs by the Phobia, as they held the league's No. 1 offense to a playoff-low 52 points and just 41.7 percent shooting. That included an 0 for 10 stat line for Dallas from beyond the 3-point line. 

Additionally, the new champions tied a team rebounding record for a single playoff game set by three other teams: Houston in Season 9 and Season 36, and Dallas in Season 52.

The front line of Philadelphia...Blob Dylan, Philibuck Davia and Leonard Pinth Garnel all dominated their respective opponents.

Dallas was somewhat within striking distance, down 7 going into the final quarter, but the Phobia strangled any hope for the Demons by starting the stanza with a 10-0 run. Halfway through the last frame the new champs held a 17-point lead and coasted home with number 17 secure in hand.

All five Finals games were won by the home team.

Meanwhile, let's acknowledge the amazing six-season run at the top of the heap by Dallas, who died defending their crown in the Finals.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

32 GVP...The MBA's regular season MVP, LEONARD PINTH GARNEL, waited until the final game of the playoffs to unleash his first post-season POG performance. The 6-10 Garnel put all of his assets on display in this winning effort, leading everyone in six categories: rebounding (13), steals (3), assists (4), blocked shots (4), points prevented (6) and turnovers caused (5). So, despite scoring just 8 points on 4 of 7 shooting, Garnel was easily the single-most dominant force in the game. The league's top rebounder came right out of the gate with 7 first-quarter rebounds, falling just one rebound short of Hall of Famer Raisin Sport's Season 9 playoff record of 14 for the game. He was magnifico at the exact right time.

Other 20-plus GVP performers (none from Dallas)

25 GVP...Philadelphia power forward Philibuck Davia...16 points (3 slams)....7 rebounds...2 assists

23 GVP...Philadelphia's retiring shooting guard ITSTHA BISHOP in his final game...18 points...4 rebounds...1 assist.

23 GVP...Philadelphia center Blob Dylan...15 points...5 rebounds...3 blocked shots.

Season 58 Finals...Game 4...Philadelphia at Dallas

DALLAS 83, PHILADELPHIA 67 (Slaughter Rule Enforced) Series tied 2-2

DEMONS FIGHT BACK

DALLAS -- Showing the resilience of a champion, the Dallas Demons sent this Finals to a showdown Game 5 with a Slaughter Rule 83-67 thumping of the visiting Philadelphia Phobia.

On the verge of giving up the MBA title they have held for six straight seasons, the Demons defended their home court with a fury, leading from start to finish. 

Philadelphia mounted a push in the fourth quarter, cutting a 15-point lead to 6, but Dallas point guard Mini Carfartt ended the Phobia's hopes by delivering three consecutive 3-point bombs.

The game was not without incident, as Philly coach Stu Nod was hit with a technical foul in the first quarter as Dallas got off to a big lead. Then in the second quarter Venial Sinn of Dallas and Itstha Bishop of Philadelphia got into a fight in which both drew technicals, but Sinn was ejected from the game. That meant Dallas rookie Fashion Boy Vuitton was pressed into action for more than half of the game. He ended up scoring 9 points and tying for game-high in assists with 4.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

36 GVP...It became apparent early that the greatest Demon of all time, JUZAN DJINN, was not going to let his team yield its title on its home court. The Hall of Fame two guard rose to the occasion with his first POG of the Finals and second of the playoffs, following his 20-point Game 3 performance with a 21-point effort in Game 4. He delivered the 9th triple-double of his career and his first since the Season 56 playoffs, blocking a game-high 8 shots and pulling down 5 boards while adding a pair of assists. Djinn was 7 for 14 from the floor, connecting on 3 of 7 from deep and going 4 for 4 from the foul line. He is very much in the running to snag a record fourth Playoff MVP honor. He's currently averaging 15.7 points per game in the playoffs with 19 blocked shots.

Other 20-plus GVP performerws

33 GVP...Dallas point guard Mini Carfartt...29 points (3 killer treys)...2 rebounds...2 assists.

26 GVP...Philadelphia point guard Tut Ankhamun...22 points (3 treys)...4 assists.

24 GVP...Philadelphia's retiring shooting guard Itstha Bishop...17 points...6 rebounds...1 assist.

22 GVP...Dallas center Poop-Rupiah 3000...10 points (3slams)...8 rebounds...3 blocked shots...1 assist.

NEXT UP: The Game 5 decider. The second season in a row the Finals have gone the distance. In this one, the home team has won every game. Philadelphia is the home team.
