Bballzone Time 4 Interesting Facts Updates in system of records (Article by: redmadness7) In season 25 some serious updates have been done in the system of records. We are going to review these updates and give the opportunity to non-PREMIUM users to check up some of this season's records. The previous records' system appeared to be inappropriate: - Records were not set in the international tournament. - Records used to include even those matches that were played with bogus opponents. So, records could be improved only when playing with bot teams. Records became a part of the game that uses lots of server's resources but it is mostly not used by anybody. Therefore, updates here were necessary. The new records' system - Records are set in both - national and international leagues' matches. - Records are set only in the matches where both playing teams are managed by real users and RT difference between the teams (of the players that played in the match) is not bigger than 50RT.

  • Mission Possible by Roland Lazenby
    Mission Possible By Roland Lazenby Originally published in Hoop Magazine. Reprinted with permission. Permission granted 7/20/01 Jeanne Tang, NBA 1 From his earliest days in the NBA, the frustration has shadowed Vlade Divac. For each night when he played basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers, the bad feelings would slip away, only to reappear at game’s end. “My country’s a war zone,” he said miserably while chatting with a cameraman on the Lakers team bus in December 1992. Their cameraman responded by pointing out that strife ridden South Central Los Angeles and Divac’s home, the former Yugoslavia, had different circumstances but similar problems: ethnic misunderstanding and hatred that only seemed to breed more hatred, more misunderstanding. “So many crazy people,” Divac said sadly. In the seven seasons since that conversation, the craziness had only increased, with war and ethnic violence spreading like an ugly malignancy through Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Albania. During that time, Divac’s NBA career has shifted first from Los Angeles, to Charlotte, and now to Sacramento, where he starts at center for an exciting Kings team. Now, just as it did in Los Angeles, his time on the court helps him set aside his worries for a few hours. In fact, the Kings, with their running, gunning, ball-sharing style, provide a perfect escape. Divac himself can whip up a snazzy full-court underhand outlet for an easy bucket at the other end. Or the big center can execute a fundamentally pure drop step, then pause right in the middle of it to zip a no-look assist to a cutting teammate.
