Ranking the rookies ahead of the Season 48 Draft...and updating the Mastersons

THE MASTERSONS published 12/29/18…updated 4/1/21

Here is the all-time starting lineup for players with the last name Masterson in the Masterson Basketball Association.

Guard -- Uncle Bob Masterson (the only Hall of Fame Masterson player)
Guard -- T. Kanes Masterson
Center -- Tyler Masterson
Forward -- Codge Masterson
Forward – Tiger Masterson (new to the list, replacing Ed Masterson)

The selection is based on awards won in their careers. There is no doubt the guards are the best two Masterson's at the position, and when looking at the forwards, Codge is clearly the best there. Tiger Masterson’s late-career surge with Dallas gets him into the starting Masterson lineup, replacing  Ed Masterson.
But the center position, with Tyler Masterson, remains a bit of a default. In the history of the league there has only been two Masterson centers, the other being Joseph "Pete" Masterson. Tyler earned the center spot on the All-Masterson team by hitching his wagon to the Philadelphia star. He never started in an MBA game, but has 3 championship rings thanks to Phobia dominance in the earliest days of the league.

UPDATING THE MASTERSONS

Dallas guard Meat Pants Masterson moved past three Mastersons on this MBA GVP list in Season 47, adding his first All Star Game appearance and a second championship ring as he, by far, enjoyed his finest season. 

 

Tiger Masterson bows out of the league with four awards, enjoying a late-career surge in which he got all of them in his last two seasons as he helped Dallas to a pair of titles while earning two spots in the All Star Game.
