This league was created as a "Trial League" for the purpose of making the best stat-line for the future GST Pro Basketball leagues. It was later converted to a Keeper League.

2012 -- Didn't really know how to Commish a Basketball league yet. The stats available are much worse than Yahoo's baseball available stats. The fact that different teams would play more/less games per week was something I hadn't really thought about. We slogged through it though! This was the only year we had a 6 team Playoff Format.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Make It Rain 2. Scorelords 3. Chocolate Thunder 4. Cool Change 5. Beardstown Riverrats 6. Glassbreakers (Commish) 7. Rockhouse 8. Jumper 9. MJ Ballers 10. Game Changers 11. Like Burnt Toast 12. King Z 2 13. Icewater Bulls 14. Moontrotters
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Score Lords 2. Make It Rain 3. Chocolate Thunder 4. Cool Change 5. Glassbankers 6. Beardstown Riverrats
It wasn't readily apparent, but I could see by Season's End, the league was biased to the Big Movers, willing to make a lot of their team transient. This went against the GST Standard of Excellence guaranteeing all strategies playing on a level field and quality of quantity. The season itself was exciting and the Score Lords/Make It Rain Finals was a good one! Changes were in store.

2013 -- This league converted to a Keepers league, an 8 team Playoff format, and experienced the formalizing of the GST Hoops stat-line for all 3 GST Hoops leagues. Needless to say, it caused MUCH consternation, and even a couple desertions. The new stat-line was the "talk of the season"!
Regular Season Finish: 1. Score Lords 2. Rockhouse 3. Coor's Caps 4. Make It Rain 5. I Was Getty Sum Head 6. Glassbreakers (Commish) 7. Moontrotters 8. Cool Change 9. Big Blue Bullz 10. Houston Thunderbears 11. A Bronx Tale 12. Chocolate Thunderbears 13. End of the Line 14. Team One and DoneUK
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Score Lords 2. Coors Caps 3. Rockhouse 4. Make It Rain 5. Cool Change 6. Glassbreakers 7. I Was Getty Sum Head 8. Moontrotters
Of course the Biggest Complainers ended up doing the best. This proves my theory that the stat-line is definitely secondary to the saying "the Cream will ALWAYS Rise to the Top"! Score Lords DOMINATED the Regular Season and was EVEN MORE Dominant throughout the Playoffs! He made a lot of trades and created a Dominant Team legal under the League Rules. He seems to be in a position to be Dominant for years to come. I guess we'll see.

2014
I lowered the Keepers to 6 in hopes the draft would no longer be a joke, which eliminates Draft Strategy. Even this didn't fully make the draft a plausible one, a shame. Live and learn. We will be using the new Stats Yahoo provided as an experimental league, which this league is famous for.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Make it Rain 2. Rockhouse 3. Moon Trotters 4. Waterloo Wildcats 5. I Was Getty Sum Head 6. Score Lords 7. Texas Beasts 8. Glassjumpers (Commish) 9. Lost To Greed 10. Cool Change 11. Big Blue Bullz 12. Coors Caps 13. MASH 14. Big Balls N Cow Town
Championship Playoffs Finish: 1. Make It Rain 2. Rockhouse 3. Score Lords 4. Waterloo Wildcats 5. Moon Trotters 6. Texas Beasts 7. Glassjumpers (Commish) 8. I Was Getty Sum Head
It took a while to sort itself out, but Make It Rain eventually Ran Away with the League in Chase. The Chase was Extremely Competitive though. Right on Par with this league, he had the Closest Competitions of everyone, but prevailed -- culminating with a 6-6 Tied Finals Win over Rockhouse! IT WASN'T EASY, but a Dominant Performance nevertherless.
High Win%: .638 Low Win%: .342
The Extreme Low Win% was a Direct Product of the Draft. Nobody's fault but my own, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm learning. Sadly, it cost us this GM, and he's a Proven Quality GM.
