Looks like I've accidentally transcended not just the game of basketball but also the mortal realm.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Shame there's no trophies outside the mortal realm.
Becoming god must fit the criteria of 'fame motivated' better than an NBA playoff title.
0-5
Bad news for the Seattle Supersonics: their non-Cafite star Jermaine O'Neal has been injured with a torn achilles tendon. He's out for 117 days, and saw a 3 overall rating drop.
RIP
@The Cat it's your time to shine.
Feck it, I got a total of 730 attr. points now.
Pretty wild that I've gained 312 attr points but Alto has only gained 4.
Solius has gained 250 which is probably second highest gain.
Solius has gained 250 which is probably second highest gain.
Alto gained 4392 rebounds though.
Think this is likely our last season - I‘m gonna need finally some serious cash for my excessive lifestyle and also think I possibly have to pull a Neymar to finally step outta your shadow.
Wait, I‘m on 14.15m/y already..must have missed the memo.
Whoops, I forgot to send the memo. Yeah you re-signed for the Supersonics for $14.15M/year until 2006.
Best team I've ever been on and it's still garbage. This is the equivalent of maldini playing for stoke year on year. Just a truly sad state of affairs.
And I’m Pirlo tied to a 4 year deal with Wigan
@nimic you need to pair me and jobbers up close to retirement if neither of us have won a ring due to shit teams.
Have you tried playing better first?
Some of us were not blessed with mvp talent on our teams
I am the MVP. I’m just saying have you tried just being better? It works.
Just realized I‘m the highest paid player in the league. 
Not sure what it is but I must be good at something..probably my Brazilian vibes and good look I guess.

Huh? You‘re team is third in that power ranking?
Did you win MVP?
I think mine was 5th last season. Scraped into the playoffs and lost in the 1st round.Just realized I‘m the highest paid player in the league.

Trade deadline standings update
3-20 on the road. I must only be playing home games for some reason.
Winning record so farTrade deadline standings update
Just realized that @altodevil is in the same team as Shaq, and is the best center on the team
All it took for altodevil to maybe make the playoffs was to be paired with one of the greatest players of all time. To be fair, they pretty much perfectly complement each other. At least in this era, before the 3-pointers take over (which I do think is modelled in the game through some algorithm or other).
Also to contextualize the 117-day Jermaine O'Neal injury for the Supersonics, I think 1 day is basically 1 game. So he'll have a good 50+ games left out by the time we get to the playoffs. This might not be ideal for their repeat championship chances.
Wow @hobbers is insanely good. After playing the game a bit now on my own I've only seen one player with a higher rating (Dudley Bradley whoever the feck that was in real life)
Skizzo and his highest potential on the team**
Honestly if you could stay off the injury table and give me a hand on the court…
01/02 All Star Weekend (with standings update)
01/02 All Star Weekend
First, let's take a look at the current regular season standings. I'll add the power rankings and the trade deadline standings in spoilers for comparison.
No Cafites involved this time (it's either @Salt Bailly or bust, it seems).
3-Point Contest
No bonus points for guessing which Cafites get to participate: @BenitoSTARR (2-time winner), @Solius (2-time runner up), @V.O. and @Samid. I think Solius might just ban BenitoSTARR if he beats him in the final round again, so that should add some extra excitement.
Round 1 (4 advance)
Chauncey Billups: 26
Tim Thomas: 21
Jason Williams: 25
Damon Jones: 26
The minimum to advance is now 21, but it will probably take 25 or even 26.
V.O. is through!
Solius is tied for 2nd with Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones. Samid and BenitoSTARR need at least 26 to have a chance, or the 26-ers go through.
Not enough, Samid is out.
BenitoSTARR with another great shooting start, and that means Samid is out. Solius and the other 26-gang have to shoot a tiebreak round, where one of them will be eliminated. Solius was here last year too, and he shot a perfect 30/30 to go through. Can he do it again?
Round 2 (2 advance)
Final Round
Another great shooting round by Solius! But we have seen BenitoSTARR do 30 before, and he's done 29 twice this contest already. Can he do it again?
No, he can't! Solius took the NBA crown from BenitoSTARR, now he's taken the 3-Point Contest crown too.
Full contest:
All Star Game
Teams:
@BenitoSTARR, @V.O. and @oneniltothearsenal return for the East. They lead them to a victory last year, can they do it again? They will face @hobbers, @altodevil, @Dr. Dwayne, @Solius and @Stobzilla from the West, a veritable smorgasbord of Cafites.
Result and stats follow in the next post, since 20 images is the maximum in one post - and I refuse to compromise the 3-Point Contest. Refuse, I say!

Solius needs 24 to go through to Round 2.
Good enough! Solius is through to Round 2, along with BenitoSTARR, V.O. and Damon Jones

Round 2 (2 advance)
Damon Jones: 25
V.O. will go through if BenitoSTARR and Solius both shoot less than 25. If one of them shoots 25 we'll have another tiebreak round.
Another great round by Solius, but that means BenitoSTARR needs 25 or better to have a chance at shooting for the threepeat 3-Point Contest victory.
BenitoSTARR is through, and that sadly means V.O. is eliminated in Round 2 for the 4th year in a row. We'll have a repeat of the Final Round of the last two years. Will BenitoSTARR foil Solius yet again?
