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.
