So I just checked with my accountant and it appears I still haven't received my $1,000,000 prize money from Sunrise for winning my duel.  No matter, I would have declined the offer anyhow.  This was not about bloodsport or money, it was about something bigger than that for me.  I'm sure it was for StringerBell as well.  Two men defending their honor.  It doesn't get much more mafia basketball than that.

But enough of this gloominess.  At this time I'm pleased to make yet another team announcement, I have assigned Henson to be my assistant coach.  Henson was a hot prospect that I recruited from Sister Ivory Darkmore University (a Catholic Division 1 college, no relation to the mobster of the same alias).  I'm excited to have an assistant coach that won't have my inbox flooded with complaints, won't get all my players hitlisted, and doesn't force me to change the name of my team every other day among other things such as restricting me from hiring bodyguards to protect myself. 

Anyways that's a whole other long story that I don't have time to get into.  Let's just focus on the future and not the past.  I see greatness on the horizon for the Detroit John_Farehams.  Excuse me, I mean the Detroit Dribblers.  I appreciate everyone's attention.

The fans roar in approval

Henson strolls up to his might fine, athletic, other-worldly Coach and stands at his right hand side in a show of solidarity. A lot of what he was hearing didn't make much sense to him. He was not accustomed to hearing the inner workings of a basketball team. This was very new but he was eager to make a name for himself out on the court. 

I just wanna play ball. 

Hi Sunrise, 

What is an Assent? Are you sending your ass? 

I can assure you that Don FrizzleFry does not play those kind of games. He's all about the balls and only balls! Basket balls of course. 

I'd ask that you politely remove your head from your own asses sir. 

As well as the asses of people who actually matter around here.
