We wrapped up the first part of the TBL 2015 (unofficial) awards sometime last week and while it took quite sometime to wrap up the finale, it is finally here.
One of my coaches told me that there are two major defining moments in a game of basketball. One is, of course, at the start of the game. If you get off on the wrong foot, it will be hard to follow up and end on a high note. Every one pretty much knew about this already. This was why most of us try hard to be a starter on the team. Every one wants to make their presence felt.
But then Coach asked us what the second most defining moment in a basketball game is. In my head, I thought it was only logical that it would be the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. That’s when my coach said:
“If you think it’s the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, you’re wrong.”
What is a season of basketball without the glitz and glamour of handing out awards?
I know that the players are not in the game for the individual awards and that the ultimate goal is ending the season with a win (and a championship), but it just doesn’t feel right as someone who has followed a large part of the season to not give out props to where it is deserved.
So let’s give a round of applause for this year’s Thailand Basketball League unofficial award celebration hosted by Tones & Definition!
I totally missed the Third Week of the Power Rankings because I was focused on the writing the Thai-Foreign Article (ICYMI, here it is). It looks I’m totally going to miss the Forth Week of the Power Rankings as well because the Stats aren’t posted yet as I am writing this article and it doesn’t really look like anyone cares about the Power Rankings anyways. So don’t hold your breath out for a 5th week version as well.
Instead of doing that same routine, we’re going to shake things up.
