after 5 failed seasons of losing and getting knocked off in the playoffs, i finally felt the joys of being on a winning basketball team at cal poly.

for the past 3 seasons i've been teamed up with deadly threepoint sharp shooter Sharif and all-around wonder Kevin. despite our team chemistry, we've never been able to get passed the 2nd round.

but this season, it finally all came together. with the addition of Taye, a skinny indian kid with long arms and an unstoppable left-handed hook shot and a new squad of defensive minded role players, Team Faded looked like a team that could make some noise.

the regular season ended with a 5-6 record...but Team Faded swept through the playoffs 4-0, capping the playoff run with a thrilling 2 point victory over the #1 team, Nothing But Net.
