Ever wonder what would happen if The Rebel
Alliance, The Galactic Empire, The Sith Lords, and The Jedi Order all decided to
settle their war and conflict with a basketball tournament?

Last January 2, a basketball tournament was
held at Ayala Homes Covered Court, Mandaluyong City. It was the 5th
inter-group tournament between different comic book groups. The theme was Star
Wars, and we were given a chance to represent either Team Rebels, Team Empire,
Team Jedi, or Team Sith, and to find out which team will stand tall at the end
of the day.
Still
a part of The Dark Knight PH Basketball Group, we represented The Rebel
Alliance. Our team’s colors were white and orange. I would prefer The Empire,
since it kind of matches the whole Batman thing that the group was about in
terms of color theme, and black really does look cool, but I still like the
jersey design. I actually think that Team Rebels’ jersey was the best out of
the four teams. No kidding!
Caught off guard during the pre-game warm up
Our first game was against Team Jedi. The
game ended nerve-rackingly as we finished with 51-50. With the layup from "Flash" failed to go in the basket, we lost by one point. We didn’t advance to the
championship game. If only he have the powers of the actual Flash and go back in time to change the past.
Our second game was against Team Empire. This
was for the 3rd and 4th place. We lost by a large digit,
but I was able to make my first field goal in this league. Haha!
At the end of the day, the purpose of this
event was met. Geeks enjoyed playing, win or lose. People bonded together.
Everyone had fun. And I did manage to get 2 RPG and 2 SPG in two games. Still
looking forward to improving my stats.
TDKPH's Team Rebels
Hoping that I’ll still be able to play in the next
tournament. The theme for that upcoming tournament will be “Villains Unleashed” so each team will
represent a comic book bad guy. I’m so thrilled!
We just need to make sure that next time we'll get the W. After all, The Rebellions are built on hope.
