Congratulations to the 2009 AT THE BUZZER SPRING LEAGUE CHAMPIONS: WE THE BEST. After being ousted in the 1st round of last season's playoffs, We The Best made a few roster changes, adding both Josh Lundrigan and Jimmy Hall. Lundrigan eventually tore the league up and won the regular season M.V.P. (see below), and Jimmy Hall helped We The Best solidify themselves as one of the elite teams this season and perhaps in league history. Congratulations to the captain Mike Nazareno for putting together a squad that always boasted, "We The Best" and were able to show and prove.
1st Row (From Left to Right): Jimmy Hall (Playoffs M.V.P.), Mark Nazareno, Mike Nazareno (Captain), Cesar Sanchez, Matt Nazareno, Joon Son (Exec. Director)
2nd Row: Josh Lundrigan (Regular Season M.V.P.), Charles Yuan, Keenan Pight, Ed Thurman
3rd Row: Terry Cineus
Congratulations to the 2009 At The Buzzer Spring League Playoffs Most Valuable Player: Jimmy Hall. He averaged a record breaking 27.3 points per game during the playoffs.
June 11, 2009
Congratulations to the 2009 At The Buzzer Spring League Most Valuable Player: Josh Lundrigan. Lundrigan averaged 25.6 points per game and a season leading high 38 points in a game. This is Lundrigan's 2nd Most Valuable Player award. The only other player to win 2 M.V.P. awards was the reigning M.V.P., Mike Bernard. They say the best ballers in the Bean come from Lynn. The last 3 M.V.P.'s have come from Lynn aka Sin City.

Spring 2009 Week 5: Player of the Week: Adam Rose (Bruisin' Bruins)
Adam Rose aka The Poisonous Rose stepped up big on Week 5 against the powerhouse One Shot squad. After defeating their last 4 opponents by an average margin of 31 points, they faced a formidable opponent in One Shot. Rose can knock down the three from deep and can also take it to the rack with his length. The Bruins are one of the most complete teams in the league, and with Rose continuing his style, the Bruins can go far in the post-season.
Spring 2009 Week 6: Player of the Week: Bipin Tamang (One Shot)
On Week 6 Bipin Tamang aka B-Low got it IN. He scored a season 31 points, along with eight 3 pointers. Most importantly, he helped get his team a Win. B-Low is one of the deadliest guards in the league, so don't sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.Spring 2009 Week 7: Player of the Week: Max Kim (Blaze)
On Week 7, Max Kim aka Madmax light up an inferno. He scored a season high 22 points and helped team Blaze secure a spot in the post-season.
M. Kim is one of the deadliest shooters in the league and his length helps him shoot over his defender. Once he's feeling it, you better call 9-1-1 like Sean Kingston.So the seedings are now in place. Where will amazing happen next? 8 Teams. 1 Champion. This is when real ballers step their game up. PLAYOFFS START NEXT WEEK! SUMMER LEAGUE IN 4 WEEKS! LET'S GO!!!

Spring 2009 Week 3: Player of the Week: Peter Uzoma (One Shot)
Peter "The Uzi" Uzoma exploded on Week 3 and let out his big guns. He had a fierce battle with the reigning M.V.P. Mike Bernard. Uzoma, and his team One Shot were win-less coming into Week 3 and Uzoma took it upon himself to make sure they would not get another L. He finished the game with 31 points en route to a 1 point victory. One Shot played smart by fouling M. Bernard, since they had fouls to give. P. Uzoma and One Shot should be a team to watch out for. Uzoma will knock you out in ONE SHOT.Spring 2009 Week 4: Player of the Week: Zee Cruz & Manny Chicha (Mac & Cheese)
On a record breaking week, where 4 players scored 30 points or more, Zee Cruz & Manny Chicha stood out above the rest and became the 2nd tandem to score 30 points or more a piece. It was done previously by Bernard Johnson and Damian Ruff. Zee Cruz is making strides for M.V.P. candidacy. He can take it to the rack, hit the mid-range, and knock down the three pointer. He is an offensive threat that should be dealt with accordingly. He finished the game with 37 points, including a perfect 5 for 5 from the charity stripe. His sidekick, Manny "Fresh" Chicha is a dirty son of a (shut your
mouth). He is filthier than Tyrone Biggums. He can knock shots from downtown with the best of them. He knocked down 6 treys on Week 4 and was cooler than a cucumber. Chicha finished with 31 points and he 
currently has 22 three pointers made this season. An average of 4.4 three point field goals made per game, leading all three pointer shooters. Coincidentally, his opponent from Week 4, Siran "The Deadly Siren" Thapa is 2nd in the league with 21 three pointers made.So it's now Week 7, technically it's the 6th game for everyone after the BYE week. There are definitely those who will contend for a championship and those who will pretend. Will chemistry come into place as the season dwindles down? There will be 4 teams who will be fishing early this season. There's no more Celtics to watch, so there's no excuse why you shouldn't be at your game from this point on. Every win and every point is crucial in terms of playoffs implications. M.V.P. watch: Joshua Felder, Zee Cruz, Josh Lundrigan, & Peter Uzoma.
Don't forget, the Summer League will tip off June 30th! 16 TEAMS!!! 2 COURTS!!!! IT'S GOING DOWN!!

Spring 2009 Week 1: Player of the Week: Josh Lundrigan (We The Best)
After sitting out for one year and looking bulkier than ever, Josh Lundrigan made his comeback in dramatic fashion. He was up to his usual, knocking down treys from deep, and taking it to the cup a la Tony Parker. Lundrigan won the 2008 Winter League Most Valuable Player award, so he's no stranger to the league. With the game tied, Josh Lundrigan had the ball in his hands. He dribbled toward the top of the key and he let a floater fly and it was all net. Lundrigan hit the game winning shot with 3 seconds remaining and helped his squad win their 1st game of the season. Watch out for Lundy. Coming to a gym near you.Spring 2009 Week 2: Player of the Week: Jahmal Jacson (TBA)
Jahmal Jackson put on for his squad on Week 2. He was knocking down three's with ease and also taking to the cup strong like Brock Lesnar. Watch out for Action Jackson and the whole TBA squad. They're a scrappy bunch. J. Jackson single handedly helped his squad win the game versus Ball 4 Fun on week 2 versus the versatile Mike Bernard. He was just silly nice. Big ups to Action Jackson.
So it's Another season brought to you by yours truly, J. Son aka The Commish aka Mr. At The Buzzer aka I still haven't won a championship. Yes, after 10+ seasons, I have yet to get a 'chip. I won't have an opportunity this season either, since I don't have a team. It just goes to show you I can't even pay the ref extra to win in this league. You have to earn it. This season looks incredibly tough. The competition level has risen, but will players also rise up to the occasion? Only time will tell. We have 12 squads, but only 8 making it to the post-season. Every win and point can come back and haunt you when playoff seeding takes place. A lot of new teams. 2 weeks of the regular season down, 5 weeks to go. It should be an interesting season. BTW, teams with outstanding balances must pay by Week 4, or your team will incur a $25.00 late fee per week. Also, all rosters are now final. If you haven't submitted your changes, it's too late.

Congratulations to the 2009 AT THE BUZZER WINTER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS: TRILL. The #1 seed Trill played well all season long and continued their great play throughout the playoffs. Playing a formidable opponent in Ball 4 Fun, this game came down to the wire. Congrats again to Blake Day and Team Trill.
From Left to Right: :Sokol Zejnullanhu, Joshua Felder, Ed O'Reilly, Blake Day (Captain), Glenn Stevens, Jonathan Spencer (Playoffs M.V.P.), Shawn Proctor, Joon Son (Exec. Director)
Congratulations to the 2009 AT THE BUZZER WINTER LEAGUE PLAYOFFS MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: JONATHAN SPENCER. J. Spencer aka Ears came in 2nd for regular season M.V.P. voting this season. He helped put his team on his back when they needed him the most.
So another season is complete and in the books. Our 14th season is coming up less than one week! Who will put on for their city?
At The Buzzer League. Where legends are made.

March 27, 2009
Congratulations to the 2009 At The Buzzer (A.T.B.) Winter League Most Valuable Player: Mike Bernard (Ball 4 Fun). This is Mike Bernard's 2nd M.V.P. title, winning it previously in the 2007 Spring League. This is the first time a player has won 2 M.V.P. awards in league history. M. Bernard has been playing great all season from both sides of the court. This is Mike Bernard's fourth season, and it's his 2nd time leading the league in scoring. He did not even receive one technical foul yet, which ruined their chances of winning a championship back in the 2008 Spring League. Mike Bernard was ejected from that game and their squad eventually lost to the champions: PUMA. This season, Mike Bernard was on a mission. To get that coveted championship. With 2 games down, and 1 to go, Mike Bernard might have something he hasn't shown us yet in the championship game. He was just stupid silly last night in the semi-finals, hitting the game winning three with 5 seconds remaining in regulation. Once again, congratulations to the Most Valuable Player, Mike Bernard.
Congratulations to the recipient of the 2009 At The Buzzer (A.T.B.) Winter League Defensive Player Award: Charles Yuan (We The Best). This is Charles Yuan's 2nd Defensive Player Award, winning it previously in the 2008 Winter League. C. Yuan becomes the 1st player to receive 2 Defensive Player Awards in league history. C. Yuan gets rebounds, steals, blocks, and has all the intangibles you want in a player. Congratulations to C. Yuan aka Cha Da Rubix.
And then there were 2. #1 Trill versus #3 Ball 4 Fun for the 2009 At The Buzzer Winter League Championship. This is Ball 4 Fun's 2nd trip to the finals, losing in the 2008 Spring League to Puma. This is Trill's first appearance and history is not on their side. The #1 seed has not won a championship title 12 out of the last 13 seasons. Let's see if Trill will continue their hot streak.
For those who didn't register, there are only 3 spots remaining for the upcoming Spring League. Tips off on April 7th! Act Fast! If you want to secure a spot, come to the championship game next Tuesday and talk to me. Hurry up and buy!!!!

Week 8 Player of the Week - Kevin Woo (Hurricanes)
Kevin Woo aka K-Dub is a 3 time champion and 2 time playoffs M.V.P. After his team started off at a league worst 0-5, his chances for another chip were slim to none. After winning their last two games, they had a great opportunity on Week 8. Get Down or Lay Down was 3-4 and with another loss, they would be tied with the Hurricanes at 3-5. Whoever won the game would clinch the #8 seed and advance to the playoffs. It was a good ol' fashioned one game playoff. K-Dub was just stupid silly. He scored 23 points in the 1st half including 4 three pointers. He was just a mercenary on a mission. He finished with a season high 34 points and helped the Hurricanes win the game in dramatic fashion. Big ups to K-Dub & the Canes for doing the unthinkable.So it comes down to this. 8 Teams. Only 1 Champion. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Post Season Awards Coming Soon!
Peace & Love
- J. Son
Week 5: Player of the Week - Bipin Tamang (We The Best)
Bipin Tamang is no stranger to getting buckets. The 2008 Spring League Regular Season M.V.P. aka Nepal's Finest went on a tear on Week 5, scoring a season high 23 points including 5 treys en route to an overtime victory over the powerhouse Redeem Team. They escaped a close one, after leading by double digits with only minutes to go. Like Paul Pierce said, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! On the same night, ATB forced overtime over Ball 4 Fun after trailing by double digits. Ball 4 Fun would hold onto the victory in overtime, but it was a crazy game to watch. Also on Week 5, Attic All-Stars won their first game of the season. Beats being win-less all year. Big ups to the Attic and sharp shooting of Andy Ong aka AO. gWeek 6: Player of the Week - Pek Mith/Mike Bernard (We The Best/Ball 4 Fun)
On Week 6, Pek "The Cambodian" Mith was an assassin who was on a mission. He scored a season high 26 points and helped his squad defeat Get Down or Lay Down. He was doing it all. J'ing in his defender's grilly, taking it to the rack, and knocking down free throws (still shooting Shaq Like %'s from the stripe). Pek is a chamealon and he can form into any position. Watch out for Pek Pek, B-Low, & We The Best. They have an artillery of weapons.
Also on attack mode on Week 6 was Mike Bernard aka Mike Vic. The 2007 Spring League Regular Season M.V.P. looks like he might be getting his 2nd piece of hardware. The way he has been playing has been incredible from both sides of the court. On Week 6, they faced a bitter foe in Los Extraterrestre. Los E.T. is a scrappy bunch hailing from Chelsea. They had a commanding lead in regulation, but Mike Bernard and Rathana Ny (The 2008 Spring League Regular Season M.V.P.) helped rally back. R. Ny knocked down 2 treys to bring their lead down to 3. Ball 4 Fun got the ball back and M. Bernard dribbled down with seconds remaining in regulation. He pump faked and then knocked down a trey to tie the game and bring it into overtime. Once in OT, Ball 4 Fun had the game on lock. If M. Bernard continues to play this way, Ball 4 Fun can go very far in the post-season.Also on Week 6, The Hurricanes won their 1st game! Big ups to the Canes.
Week 7: Player of the Week - Vinh Bui (ATB)
Vinh Bui is one of the OG players in the league. He's been playing since 2005, when the league was all Asian. After X-Box 360 and Playstation 3 dropped, the amount of Asians on the court diminished and your boy J. Son had to switch the formula. Anyway, Vinh Bui went berserk on Week 7, scoring a season/team/game/career high 28 points. He helped his squad force overtime and win a tough
game against Get Down or Lay Down. Vinh Bui is one of the quickest guards in the league and has improved his 3 point shooting. Watch out for Vinh Bui aka The Vietnamese Vixen. Oh yeah, I heard a player got knocked out by his own team mate this past week while I was away? What's this world coming to? Is the recession getting us so upset that we need to lay out our own players? God help us.
Sorry for the lack of updates ya'll. Your boy J. Son has been busy this past month with various events, including a Joe Budden In-Store, B-Boy Battle/Art Show, & Store Renovations. Check the photos at our store blog! www.atbboston.com/blog
So it comes down to this. The final week of the regular season. Which squads are the contenders? Which are the pretenders? There will be no upsets this season. Teams 1 through 8 are solid. The playoffs schedule will be up by Friday afternoon. 8 Teams. 1 Champion. Can you feeeeeeeeeeeel it?!?! Playoffs Time. My president is Black, my jeep is too. Holla at me. 1000.

Week 4: Player of the Week: Tom Smith (Redeem Team)
Tom Smith aka The Iron Horse single handedly obliterated his opponent on Week 4 with his sharp shooting. He scored a season high 29 points and had the hot hand for the majority of the game. T. Smith helped the Redeem Team defeat the undefeated team ATB. The Redeem Team snapped the ATB's winning streak and they look to do damage for the rest of the season. Watch out for the Redeem Team & Iron Horse ya'll.In other league news, the other undefeated team went down this past week. Blaze was 4-0 coming into Tuesday night's game. The Attic All-Stars were 0-4 coming into Tuesday night and they finally captured their 1st win of the season by defeating the shorthanded Blaze team. It looks like there will be no undefeated teams this season.
The only team to be win-less at this point are the Hurricanes. They look to test their luck tonight against Team Trill.
On Week 4, we had the 1st At The Buzzer shot. Josh Felder of Team Trill knocked down a fadeway jumper to defeat We The Best by 2 points. His At The Buzzer shot clinched the W for his team and helped improve their record to 3-1.
Just so everyone knows, there are only 8 spots available for the post-season. We are at the mid-point. Every win from now on will count. Since there are so many teams with identical records, a point differential system will be used to break ties. In other words, the amount of points you defeat your opponents by for the entire season.
Also an important note, THERE WILL BE NO GAMES ON WEEK 6 (Tues Feb. 17 & Thurs. Feb. 19th). The school will be closed for February vacation. Games will resume on Tuesday February 24, 2009.
Enjoy the ATB Break & NBA All-Star Weekend. Have a happy and fun Valentine's day. I remember last year, no one showed up for their games on V-Day.
BTW, damn CB, you really gotta do Rihanna like that?!?
Peace Out!

Week 3: Player of the Week: Jarri Cash (Blaze)
Week 2: Player of the Week: Alex Lugo (Los Extraterrestre)
On Week 2, Alex Lugo aka Lex Lugor single handedly put his team on his back and went to work like a mule. He scored a season high 27 points, including 3 treys and was a perfect 2 for 2 from the line. With his squad down for most of the game, he went on fuego in the 2nd half and just went bonkers. Lex Lugor did his thang on Week 2. Week 3 player of the week is averaging 23 points per game easily. That man is Jarri Cash aka The Cash Money Millionaire. The CMB is no stranger to getting buckets. He helped his squad defeat the Angry Beavers on Week 3 without their big man Reggie Carter. The CMB is easily one of the early candidates for regular season M.V.P. He's led his squad to a league 4-0 start. Can the streak stay alive? Big ups to The CMB for a strong Week 3. 
In other league news, there is another unbeaten team in the league. That team is ATB. They are 3-0 and looking to keep that streak alive against the powerhouse Redeem Team. Blaze already accomplished their feat, by defeating Get Down or Lay Down on Week 4. On the flipside, there are two win-less teams in the league. Attic All-Stars and the Hurricanes. They need to start winning games or they might have to start their spring break in Cancun early.

Week 1 Player of the Week: Aaron Davis (Emerica)
A.T.B. League newcomer Aaron Davis aka A-Diddy was put in work on Week 1 versus the Angry Beavers. He scored 28 points en route to a 20 point victory. He can drive, dish, and shoot the trey. Watch out for A-Diddy as he comes through with the Diddy bop. Take that, take that.
In other news, My President is Black! My Lambo Blue! I'm glad that I'm here in this lifetime to witness such an event! We still got some Obama tees left at the shop!
We got a lot of new teams this season. Some will contend. Some will pretend. Only time will tell! Team photos next week. Get your hair did. Get your crispy J's on.

January 9, 2009
Yes yes ya'll, and you don't stop. Happy New Year's. Another season coming at you courtesy of J. Son and At The Buzzer. Our 13th season! We've got 12 squads. Some new, some old. Some new faces in new places. This may be one of the most competitive seasons yet. Once again, the defending champions from the previous season will not be participating. That means there will be a new champion. Only the top 8 will make the post-season, so every game counts.
To all the captains, please have your payments and registration on Week 1.
Also the Add/Drop Deadline is: Thursday, January 22nd at 5 PM sharp!
Other than that, I'll see ya'll next week! Come through to the shop for some kicks and fitteds. ATB player discount!

Congratulations to the 2008 At The Buzzer Fall League Champions: Team A.W.O.L.
Congratulations to the 2008 At The Buzzer Fall League Playoffs Most Valuable Player: Sean Hoar. This is Sean's 2nd Championship. Sean "Showtime" Hoar averaged 13 points per game during the playoffs. This is the lowest average from a Playoffs M.V.P. in league history, but that's all he needed because Team A.W.O.L. defeated their opponents by a margin of 13.6 points per game.
So another season is in the books. The #4 seed upset the #1 seed and the #3 seed to become victorious. We Got Guns were the biggest team in the league, and many considered Team ATB to be the deepest. A.W.O.L. managed to play hard when it mattered and thus earned the crown.
So this is your boy's 3rd Finals Appearance, and 3rd Finals Loss. I'm starting to feel that I'm never going to win a championship in my own league, so it looks like I may hang it up after the Christmas Break and enter a different league. Big ups to all the teams that made this league possible. It's always a joy to bring people together through basketball.
2008. What a year. I finally graduated college. At The Buzzer boutique opened. Barack Obama is the President-Elect. 2009 should be iller!
Hope to see ya'll next season. It's going down Mid-January 2009. There's a possibility that there will be 2 divisions due to the heavy demand of teams wanting to join!
Ya'll know where to find me. 81 Harvard Ave. At The Buzzer. All league players received 10% off hats and select footwear.
Be safe and stay blessed!! The Commissioner signing out.

November 19, 2008
Congratulations to the 2008 At The Buzzer Fall League Most Valuable Player: Rathana Ny (Ball 4 Fun). Rathana Ny aka The Dirty Rotten Cambo aka The DRC averaged better than 27 points per game and was the main reason his squad made the playoffs. Big ups to the DRC!
Unfortunately his squad was ousted early, becoming another victim of the M.V.P. curse. After the inception of the M.V.P. award, only 1 player has gone on to win the championship, and that was back in 2004. Ever since than, the M.V.P. has become synonymous with no championship. The curse of the #1 seed has been reversed last season by Puma, so We Got Guns has nothing to worry about. The top four teams advance to the Semi-Finals. It's going down tomorrow! To the teams that were ousted early, prepare for the 2009 At The Buzzer Winter League! Stay Tuned. It's going down tomorrow!!!!!! Win or Go HOME!

ATB Fall League Week 8: Player of the Week - Chris Hamlett (Do Work)
On Week 7, Kevin Emmons aka K-OS was on beastmode. He played valiantly against a scrappy Los Extraterrestre team and scored 17 points in the 1st half. He continued to put in work in the 2nd half in the paint, and finished with 30 po
