PLAYOFF SUMMARY SEASON 39

Charleston's fourth championship ties it with Houston for third-most titles. It is now the Dave Masterson franchise with the most championships.

Beezow Bop-Bop of Charleston wins his second MVP of the Playoffs award. He has more of these awards than All Star Game appearances (just one). He has never been named to the All-MBA first team, but he can sure turn it on during the playoffs.






Second-season center J.J. Gargantuan of Charleston becomes just the fourth center in 39 seasons to top everyone in playoff scoring. The others were: Bill Rustler of Seattle in Season 10, averaging 20.0 per game; Jonny Cockaroo as a rookie for Philadelphia in Season 18, averaging 21.0 per game; and Ima Spikie of Philadelphia in Season 31 averaging 17.0 per game. The three previous centers to lead in playoff scoring are all Hall of Famers.

Lemon Jell-o finishes his career with a record fourth playoff steals title, surpassing Philadelphia Hall of Famer Oscar Mudcat, who did it three consecutive seasons in Seasons 3, 4 and 5. Jell-o's 13 steals this playoff campaign were a personal best, despite him not starting in the last two games his team played. The 13 tally is the second-highest total for a single post season. The best tally was 14 by Hall of Famer Dan Mann of Milwaukee in Season 9.

TWO NEW HALL OF FAMERS ADDED IN SEASON 39
Third-year superstar Naf Naf of Oklahoma City and retiring forward Art Vandelay of Charleston (also played for Milwaukee and Chicago) have earned Hall of Fame status as the 42nd and 43rd members of the hallowed honor roll.

Max Payne, the ageless center from Chicago moved up in the all-time rankings from 14th to 12th, moving past Dan Mann and Cheetos Jones.
