Super Bass-Runnin' (sapphire) had kicked balls all season long to get to the Thursday Kickball Championship Game. Their super base runnin', super ball kickin', and super pep talkin' carried them through a kickball dream season. Super Bass-Runnin' stomped around the bases all season long, finishing with a 5-1 regualr season record and 76 runs scored (second most in the league). A good regular season is great, but Super Bass-Runnin' had gold in mind, and the playoffs are where kickball legends are made. Led by Team Motivational Speaker/Ace Pitcher, Vanessa, the sapphire sluggers were able to sneak by the semi-final round with a 7-6 victory in OT. The dream team of 'kick the ball and run in a diamond' found themselves on kickball's biggest stage, and the only obstacle in their way was Mrs. Albee Kicks Balls (daisy).
Sensing the momentousness of the situation, Vanessa corraled her teammates and made a rousing pep talk that was more epic than Bill Pullman in "Independence Day", more badass than Russell Crowe in "Gladitor", and more heroic than John Belushi in "Animal House". You could see the confidence in Super Bass-Runnin' was at an all time high as they yelled out in unionson with one awkward puase "SUPER BASS....RUNNIN'!!!!"
Of course it was not meant to be. Mrs. Albee Kicks Balls were too much for any Super Bass-Runnin'. The kickball gods can be fickle and despite a season of Super Kickballin', Super Bass Runnin' couldn't put a gold cherry on top of their sundae. Although they seemed pretty happy just to go to Crimescene and celebrate anyway.

While the future of the 2011/2012 NBA Season may be uncertain, we at least know one thing for sure: NYC Social Wednesday Kickball is still as entertaining as ever! Maybe that's why these (obviously real) NBA players decided to come out and get their workout in by kicking some balls with Kicks Are For Kids (Purple... usually). I mean, why not? The pure athletic prowess required to play kickball in this league is totally comparable to that required to play in the NBA, right? Right?
Just look at that completely unstaged and fully legit slam dunk! And check out this... umm... Sonics player staring down the competition:
Someone should probably let these Seattle superstars know that if they're waiting for the Sonics season to start, it might take a little longer than they were planning.
Good thing they'll at least have Kickball!
