MBA Season 38 Mid-Season All Star Game Report

We go into the halfway break with seven of the 10 MBA teams still in the running for a playoff spot.
Two teams, Seattle and Houston have been shut out in the wins department.
Nobody is unbeaten.
The East has four teams who are at least 3-2, while the West has Dallas currently ahead of Oklahoma City (but the two teams have two games remaining against each other.)





Naf Naf of Oklahoma City is in position to destroy the single-season scoring record of 26 points per game held by Cheetos Jones. Naf is tickling the twine at a 30-points per game average. He has half of the top scoring games this season and has been the Game MVP in four of the five games he's played.
San Jose rookie center Pippi Pippistrelli is the lone player to be among league leaders in both scoring and rebounds.
Milwaukee's Puddles Pondhopper leads the league in two categories; blocked shots and free throwing.







Every team is represented in this season's All Star Game.
Gulemon Mon-Mon of Dallas joins a select list of players who have started in five All Star Games.
Likewise, Lemon Jell-o of Dallas is on a limited list of players who have been selected to six All Star Games. This selection for Jell-o gives him nine career awards, just one short of the Hall of Fame, which he appears to have made at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Three rookies made this season's All Star Game and both starting center positions are manned by rookies, despite the vicious competition for All Star Game spots at the pivot.



Only 11 players will retire from the ranks of the MBA this season.
San Jose was hit hardest with both starting forwards announcing they will hang up the jockstraps.
Puddles Pondhopper, a 4-time All Star Game selection and former Rookie of the Year currently having his best campaign, will also, in the grand tradition of the MBA, hang it up early for Milwaukee.
Only three starters overall will be retiring, which points to an even deeper talent pool in the league next season.
