Post-Season Summary Season 33

Cock A. Doodledoo, the retiring defensive genius guard from the now five-time champion Philadelphia Phobia came out on top of the Playoff MVP voting, edging out teammates Cheetos Jones and Tug Hershorts (who is also retiring). This was the second Playoff MVP award won by Doodledoo, the other coming with the San Jose Fighting Amigos in Season 29. Not only did Doodledoo defensively handcuff last season's Playoff MVP, Hrundi V. Bakshi, but after being injured for most of the regular season, he rebounded to lead all players in playoff scoring with a 19.8 average.

Doodledoo now joins the exclusive pantheon of players who have captured more than one MVP of the Playoffs award. They are:
3 MVPs --- Cappy Gambol, Seasons 3, 4 and 6 (all with Milwaukee)
3 MVPs --- Stu Nod, Seasons 14, 15 and 17 (all with Philadelphia)
2 MVPs --- Dan Mann, Seasons 9 and 11 (both with Milwaukee)
2 MVPs --- Curly Hogbottom, Seasons 19 and 22 (both with Philadelphia)
2 MVPs --- Sagittal Occlusal, Seasons 25 and 27 (both with San Jose)
2 MVPs --- Boone Doggle, Seasons 30 and 31 (both with Philadelphia)
2 MVPs --- Cock A. Doodledoo, Seasons 29 and 33 (first with San Jose, second with Philadelphia)

As you can plainly see, Doodledoo is the only multiple MVP of the Playoffs winner to earn the award for more than one franchise.

Phobia completes sweep of Iguanas for fifth straight MBA championship

Philadelphia 71, Houston 63

PHILADELPHIA--What if I told you that the Hall of Fame, top-scoring player in the Season 33 playoffs was completely shut down for the Philadelphia Phobia? THEN would you think that Houston might be able to salvage at least THAT game in this championship series?

If you answered yes to that question, you'd be wrong. Damned wrong. For even with the peerless Cheetos Jones having a horrendous offensive day, going 0 for 7 from the field and scoring zippo points, the Philadelphia Phobia had things well in hand in this title-clinching game to beat Houston soundly 71-63. That gave the defending champions their fifth consecutive championship in a sweep of the title series; a three-game set in which they were never truly challenged.

The hero for the Phobia in this contest, his last as an MBA player, was retiring power forward Tug Hershorts, who led all players with 24 points and 7 rebounds while dishing out 3 assists. When Houston crept within 5 points after three quarters, it was Hershorts who launched and connected on a three-pointer to quash Iguana hopes. It was again Hershorts who delivered a short jumper that put his team up by 10 with 21 time units remaining. He was 11 of 12 against one of the best MBA defenders at the forward position, Stone Flinthorn. Among the variety of hoops were three resounding slam dunks.

This was the third MVP of the Game award in the playoffs for the 6-11 Hershorts, and the championship by the Phobia now gives him six championship rings. That six-ring total ties him for the top spot all time with former Philadelphia Phobia Hall of Fame forward Cam Bodia. And should Hershorts win the MVP of the Playoffs award which is yet to be tallied, he will reach the magic number of 10 individual honors and be enshrined into the MBA Hall of Fame.

This final contest was another picture of frustration for Hall of Fame guard Hrundi V. Bakshi of Houston. Cock A. Doodledoo, playing in HIS final MBA contest, frustrated Bakshi at every offensive turn, holding him to just 10 points on 3 of 11 shooting. His running mate, Ching-Chong Chung, the top Houston scorer in the playoffs, was held to an even lower total, 6 points, by Cheetos Jones.

MOST Championship Rings
6--Cam Bodia, Tug Hershorts
5--Raisin Sport, Slats Southpaw and Ama Spikie

Hershorts and Spikie are the only Phobia players to play on all five of the consecutive championship Phobia temas.
