bedsitter23The NBADL has started again. The NBA Developmental League is still relatively new and it may have already had its peak moment (This spring's Jeremy Lin - Linsanity).
I am not sure the NBADL breeds devoted fans, but it's a good time, and I try to make it a couple of times each year.
This year's Iowa Energy stars Quincy Miller who has made it onto the Denver Nuggets roster, but is back in Iowa, and a good all-around player named Paul Harris out of Syracuse. Also on the team is Mustapha Farrakhan, who sounds like a WWE heel, but is actually Louis's grandson.
They did beat the Los Angeles D-Fenders and via one of those deal-of-the-day websites we scored some sweet half-court tickets.
I did this fall also make it to see some High School Football, and eventual State Champion Ankeny Hawks.
The Hawks QB Joel Lanning is headed to Iowa State (Nebraska also offered a scholarship) and the Hawks played an exciting option game which often meant one of three players would wind up running the ball, and even in the stands, sometimes it fooled me.
I also took in some local MMA action. Josh Neer is a local fighter who has had a lengthy career in the UFC.
His promotion is WWFC (World War Fighting Championships- and puts on a good show, competing against the more well-established Midwest Cage Championships.
The problem with promotions like this is when the favored local boy loses, which is what happened at WWFC9.
Cory Simpson was submitted in the first two minutes by Jeremy Castro.
Notes: Not my video, somewhat graphic to those not familiar with mma.
