Look at us! All pleasuring one another.

Apparently 'Eff You' is less of a greeting and more of a Friday night activity. Who knew?

Yeah, initially the phrase was used with a little more animosity and a side of cheeky banter in those early days of the NBBA. However, since then, the phrase has developed into cyber-sexual-harassment more than anything else, like — bend over, I’m gonna play patty cake with your cheeks — sort of thing.

Prison rules apply here. A lot of NBBA newcomers don’t know this and fall victim to cyber-sexual-harassment. The way I dealt with this issue after freshly promoting into the NBBA — I eff’d the biggest guy I could find and everyone became my bitch.

Who was the lucky 'biggest guy'?

Jason. Definitely. After I purchased USA NT legend Kris Hunt for 5.5m, my top two players (he and Shawn Bowens) combined for 9.5m in TL purchases. Jason posted that I wasted money for two players that wouldn’t be enough to put my team over the top against NBBA competition. He stated that I might even be lucky to sniff playoffs. Oh, boy was he wrong. The rest is history,

After he made that post I acquired another USA NT veteran, Luke Simmons, for 2m. I dubbed it the BIG3. Ironically, Simmons was injured in G1 of NBBA finals and I didn’t end up needing him to defeat Jason’s team. At the time, Jason underestimated my three trainees Bill Isom (U21 SF), Johnny Kearney (U21 SF) and Darrly Meek (eventual NT depth player and guard/forward).

We shared a love hate relationship, Jason and I. He bought me supporter when mine ran out. I forgave good-guy-Jason for his blissful ignorance — he didn’t know what he was in for.

Jason...stated that I might even be lucky to sniff playoffs. Oh, boy was he wrong. The rest is history

Far it be from me to give a shout out to the silver medalist of Arizona teams but you did, in fact, sniff the playoffs. Some would argue it was a deep inhale that didn't end for 3 NBBA seasons, but one way or another, a whiff was had!

Lol. I had a feeling someone would point out my use of the phrase “sniff.” 😂

I found it amusing how wrong he was, but I believe I never confronted him until, well, I guess now. Sorry Jason. With all due respect to the man, looking back, I understand his defensive behavior towards my meteoric rise to NBBA contention. I was an unproven manager making my NBBA debut and I had made some splashy moves which threatened the hierarchy of the league.

The previous season, before my promotion, Jason had a spectacular NBBA finals series which he just barely lost against, Magiker, one of the greatest American managers of all time whom of which boasted a B3 semi-finalist team and in previous seasons Magiker led USA to its first WC championship. Jason was outmatched and by his own admission, he didn’t expect to challenge for a title that soon; he was still building his team and his trainees were on the younger side. But even so, he nailed the GDP’s against a great manager/team and he was so close to winning a title in a series which he didn’t have HCA — that impressed me and caught everyone by surprise.

By the time I came onto the scene, Jason was a top contender for both Cup/league titles. Having just battled a B3 semi-finalist in Magiker whose team was stacked with top USA NT players... I can see why he may have thought that my two NT players would not be enough to contend in the NBBA — although that statement sounds silly even as I type it out now, when you consider who those two players were. He definitely underestimated the rest of my team. And admittedly, my three trainees had low salaries under 60K with TSP around 120-130 TSP which can be very misleading.

At the end of the day, Jason is a good manager that was just unlucky to run into some amazing teams during his title run. He does have a massive amount of silver trophies, though!

Was his loss to you the reason they stripped him of the BB title?

No, he just got tired of working for free I think, but that would be hilarious. BTW: He was a GM, not a BB. I always have an urge to call him GM-Jason still. It just flows off the tongue nicely.

I could have sworn he was a BB at one point. Is there a way to tag him in this thread? JASON. @JASON (23605)

You interviewed the guy, don’t you remember?! *Scoff*

Lol. Yeah, it’s called a BB-mail. This isn’t twitter, instagram or even discord.
