Interview with Mizz, Bron, Sorci & Krab

With all the roster moves/drama that’s happened within the first week for the Warriors. I caught up with King Mizzark, YoGuardBron, Viintage 2k & Stop A Krab for their comments on the situation.

King Mizzark

YoGuardBron

Bron correct me if I’m wrong but, on draft night you were quoted as saying that you drafted the best team. With that in mind, if you did draft a great roster then what went wrong? Why trade Bama, Sorci & Krab?
“I never said I drafted the best team, the league said that for us in some content related post. Anyways we traded Bama because it was a neutral agreement, he wanted to heat to play with friends and we wanted one of our friends we were supposed to have on draft night. Sorci was bad with curry and krab was causing a lot of issues. He was in an argument with someone every game and me and mizz constantly kept getting dms about him and his attitude towards people.”

Viintage 2k

Can you rate the warriors management on a scale of 1-10?
“Well they were at a 10 until right after week 1 and after impulsive decisions and from what I’ve seen communication wise, I’d have to drop it to a 6, mainly due to the GM.”

Why do people think you played poorly with curry?
“To be honest I’m not sure where that came from, could I have shot more and been more aggressive at times? Yes, but with the situation, especially game 1 vs the nets, people were arguing the entire game and we went down 30 before halftime, hard to perform with that vibe and it carried on to every game that night. Other than that I took High IQ shots averaging about 15 assists a game winning the last two games not to mention we were down two starters week 1. In every practice / pre season game with our original 5 I was scoring more, and so was the team. The 5 for the warriors is the most crucial position, and Del has that down and was able to shoot consistently with looney, just allowing the offense to do so much more.“

So on draft night the entire golden state roster was so happy go lucky & thought they had a god squad. With that being said in your opinion do you think Mizz/Bron drafted a good team but yall just couldnt gel? Also how do you think your line wouldve done record wise etc if Mizz/Bron kept yall together for the season?
“They drafted a great team, our line had no chemistry but we instantly had solid communication, and played great every game together. I think we played like 7-8 games together and lost once . We didn’t play with our full line once week 1 and still went 2-1 , so i personally think we had line 1 talent and would’ve gotten better week after week , losing maybe 1 game a week if that . I’d like to add with my time on the warriors, I only had 2 Ls, both to the nets.”

So lets say if the original GSW line 1 & 2 played each other. who do you think would win & why?
“I’m going to have stay quiet on that one because unlike some people in this league I’ve learned to let go of having an ego, but Id have to say it would be a good ass game. One for the books if it’s to ever go down.“

Do you think Bron is the Zeus of 2k?
“Absolutely not, with what that man put me threw I feel like I survived an R Kelly.“

Are you excited to be in Miami? Can you tell me your expectations for the team?
“Beyond excited, all the players are easygoing, management knows what they’re doing, high expectations for this team.”



Stop A Krab

Can you rate the warriors management on a scale of 1-10?
“4”
Could you elaborate on that?
“Sure thing, I give them a 4 based on how they drafted and the lines they put together. As far as actually team managing goes it’s below average, we were Undefeated with an original line on the court and always were things brought up. Teams are going to argue that’s how it goes. Also, they asked me to play Draymond and I said I will give it a try, after having 2 eh games with him I decided it wasn’t the best fit for me and I asked to be moved back to Wiggins where I had success at before. They chose logic (a guy who’s very new to the game ) over me for that position. Never onced listened to a word I said, called me a bad teammate although I said I would like a trade but if I need to stay I will. Painting me to be a villain.”

People around the league & also players on GSW have quoted in saying you’ve been a freak & a toxic individual all season. Is this true? If it’s not then why do most view you as a toxic individual?
“There are different ways of being toxic, I come from the comp pro-am scene, I don’t take losing lightly, or when there mental mistakes being made that shouldn’t be made I don’t let that slip. I’m not a yes man or anything like that if I see something I’m going to speak up on it
That might view people differently.“

So i heard that you were very proud of scoring 35 on Johnnywheels. Is this True?
“I had a game and carried us to win. As I stated multiple times to you and the others I have had many good games with Wiggins before that game. I can provide screenshots if needed also.”

How good of a player do you think Sorci is? Do you think he can be that GUY? Or is he just a role player?
“I believe he can be a good player not sure about “that guy “ or not but his offense is there just needs to pay attention on defense a lot more and learn how to pass a little better.“

If the original line 1 & 2 from GSW played in a game. who would win & why?
“Not sure. I believe it would be a lot closer than they would assume. Mizz is a better curry than Sorci, Bron is a little better than Rivals , I’m way better than any Wiggins they have, Del is better than Gee. So I think played right it would be a close game but hey, I gotta say us right?”

So you got traded to Boston for Big Wadeo. Who do you think won that trade? Also whats your expectations with the Celtics?
“I have heard of Wadeo from 2k godz , I don’t think he’s very good, so I definitely think Celtics won this trade, and I have already been told I will have a big role with this team. I saw that we were 0 and 6 and I’m looking to change that around this week. Got an owner who wants to win and grow as a team so we will get right for sure“

Do you think Bron is the Zeus of 2k?
“Absolutely not LMAO.“
Can you elaborate on that? If not that’s fine.
“To be the Zeus of something you gotta be a “god” at it. He’s not a bad player but he damn sure isn’t the god of 2k.”

VBA Season 1 Owner Interviews: Pre-Season

Welcome to the beginning of owner interviews. Each week I will be picking two owners for them to answer questions. One owner from the West and one owner from the East will be chosen.

The owner from the West that will be interviewed today is Call Me Kylee, the owner of the grizzlies!

Question 1: What made you want to choose Cleveland Cash as your gm?

Answer: Honestly just wanted a good player as the GM because it’s basically a free player so no reason to have a bum in that spot, we ran a lot of in house games prior to the owner announcements.

Question 2: Having the #1 overall pick of the player draft gave you a huge decision to make. What made you trade away Switzo, but also trade away your second pick Kurupted?

Answer: Honestly I thought switzo knew Kurupted like that and Kurupted wasn’t replying to my messages so I thought he wanted out as well but found out after we traded him that he barely even knew switzo and would of played with us 

The reason we traded switzo was because draft night he made us look stupid saying trade me in the twitch chat multiple times so I gave him his request by trading him

Question 3: How well do you believe your team will do this season, even knowing that you have some tough competitors in the West?

Answer: Honestly we got a decent chance mizzark team gonna be good they got a few Chicago hoppers there aka best 2k city users around. The suns gonna be good as well once they figure out there bookers I think ruthless should be on booker

Question 4: Do you have anything you’d like to say to Switzo and Kurupted right now for the league to see? If not, anything you’d like to tell the league?

Answer: Definitely regret trading Kurupted he’s been on my teams in past years where we won this league. But for the league I’m excited to play this season and good luck to all the other teams

The team in the east that will be interviewed today is the Heat. Gabe iLy, the GM of the Heat, will be interviewed and answering questions for both of them!

Question 1: What made you and Fab decide to join together as Owner and GM after Farah decided to step away?

Answer: We’ve played with and against each other going back to 2k16 and it’s always fun. Coming into this season we both talked about maybe teaming up and Farah stepping down gave us an opportunity to do so

Question 2: If you had the opportunity to pick your own team, would you have still picked the Heat? If not, then why?

Answer: No, they are a great defensive team but with how potent defense is on this game, great users can make up for a lack of good d players like butler or bam… The real difference between top 2k teams is the star power at ball handler.. Guys like Ja, harden, curry, Murray,etc put so much pressure on a defense with their ability to change direction so quickly 3 hunt and also attack the paint…. Heat don’t really have that which is unfortunate… I would’ve likely traded down and picked the Nuggets

Question 3: Who do you believe is your biggest competition in the East going into the season?

Answer: Def the sixers with their most recent acquisitions of switzo and kurrupted who in my opionon are 2 of the best players in the league.. that gives them Elite users on the 2 most important roles on the team (harden and joel)… They have a better 2k team than us aswell.. I’m still confident we will come out of the east but I’m curious to see how some of these teams perform.. *Celtics users are good imo but that 2k team is by far the worst in the league which is y I don’t ultimately consider them our biggest competition*

Question 4: You and Fab drafted 4 players with the same clan tag in their names, who many people (including myself) have little clue of who they are. Can you give us some insight on how they will perform on a line together compared to yours? Will the league be surprised by them?

Answer: Yes, Farah was very keen on getting his line (the 👑 clan) that he plays pretty much everything together with.. I am excited to see them perform and I do expect them to be very competitive based on how much experience and chemistry they have with each other

Thank you to both Kyle and Gabe for taking some time to be interviewed. New owners will be interviewed on week 1.

VBA Season 1 Draft Grades

After an eventful draft/post draft, people have been waiting for the first article afterwards, so here it is. This is an article based on what I know/ what I hear from others. Some things will be correct, some things may be off due to possibly not knowing a few guys. This is also a DRAFT article, trades will be left out. So, let’s begin.

Memphis Grizzlies: B+

Honestly, on paper the grizzlies had a draft that could have even gone to an A- at least. Switzo and Kurupted are two really great picks to make, Kurupted could have easily went first round alone. They could make a pretty solid duo together. They also picked up some good role players like clutch king, Lord Artie for example. Cleveland himself will already be a star caliber Ja and definitely found solid people this draft. 

Only reason why it’s lower is because it doesn’t seem their first 2 picks had much idea they would land there, and both could easily want to leave if they don’t like what they see. Regardless, Kyle and the grizzlies put on a great draft and built around the stars nicely.

Boston Celtics: B+

Foe Mac had a draft which wasn’t surprising, but I know was great. Mac and Dolo already are players who can play the stars at a top level, and they picked up the right pieces and role players who will not complain and do what they’re supposed to do. 

Jet and Devo are both players who can play the stars or any position great if needed, which makes them versatile. Juando is a good shooter/defender that they needed for a role like brown, or he can play Center. Bennie and Elite are their steals of the draft. The thing I wish Mac did was to take risks and pick players who are good that weren’t his boys.

Jet is a great pick for sure, but there were alot of great players left for the second overall pick who he could have taken, and waited on Jet for later on since he’s not as known as others like Gee Money, User Pick, or Kurupted for example. Overall though the Celtics should not be forgotten just because of the Celtics as a 2k team as they will definitely make a huge impact this season and put on one of the better drafts

Phoenix Suns: A-

The suns put on a really good draft. Haden and Primo are both great guard players and needed to find others who can hoop with CP3 and Booker, which they did. User pick is not only their boy, but also a top player in the league. King John right after could have probably gone in the first round, and they drafted people who they have high chemistry with to build around. Ruthless and Kelz are both well known VBA players and have the potential to surprise the league. CJ on booker is someone to look out for, as he will be an important factor for User pick’s line to win. This will be a very interesting team to watch for this season.

Miami Heat: A-

I’ll say this right away, I have no idea who the clan of ‘Kxng’ people that they took. If that other line, which I’m assuming will have farah in too, plays good enough to win games, this grade jumps up to an A at least.

Fab and Gabe are top players in the league and drafted people that are not only good but also are boys with(for example Gabe & Kuhrow, Fab & Pook). This team is already expected to compete far in the playoffs based off this line alone.

If their second line plays poorly though, i’d say this grade goes down to a B or B+. Definitely interested to see how both lines turn out. Overall the heat drafted great and will be one of the biggest competitors this season.

Los Angeles Clippers: D-

Cancun coming early this season.

I really have no idea what the Clippers were thinking here with one of their first round picks. No disrespect to LJ as a person, but here’s a quote that Stephen A Smith said that I feel perfectly describes my thoughts on him. “This man was a bonafide scrub! He can’t play! No disrespect whatsoever, but I’m sorry to call, tell everybody the truth, the man cannot play the game of basketball”.

The Clippers had sooo many better choices to make that they needed for their star players Kawhi & PG. Their 3 best players imo are Traynor, Woodhy, and Shaun. Unfortunately, I don’t believe they have much support which will get to their heads and possibly affect their performances(Except for Traynor he’s a troll).

Traynor at 10th was a steal though, which is the only reason why their draft isn’t a F grade. I hope they prove me wrong though.

Los Angeles Lakers: C-

With a team like the Lakers, you need people who can dominate with Bron and AD in order to compete. I personally don’t see any Bron users that they picked up who can dominate(that I know about). Vonthegamer will hold his own and do good as AD, but his preference isn’t to play the star on a team.

If Shady and Fear are secretly good Lebron’s or picked someone I don’t know about that can surprise me, then ill tip my cap. Until then, they need to prove to the league that they have what it takes.

Warriors: A

One of Mizzark’s top abilities as an owner is being able to build a championship caliber team, and already having himself and Bron as star players helps dramatically. Geee Money is a great Center who they obviously have really high chemistry with. Chairz is a friend of theirs who i’ve seen in 2kgodz who will play Klay i’m assuming.

xLoad, Never practices, and King Logic are the people to keep an eye out this season, which can greatly increase the success of the warriors IF they play great(I hear they are good). Bama is exactly what they need as a role player, just make your shots and play defense without complaining. 

If the draft rumor is right which was Mizz wanted to take Kurupted, that could have made their grade an A+ in my opinion. The warriors as a team need everyone to hit their shots badly, since they are smaller in size compared to everyone else (until Wiseman is back). Because of that, if the players he drafted(more so the 3 noted players from before) do not perform well, then this draft grade falls to a B+. Overall though Mizz and Bron put on a great draft and helped back up their expectations from the league to be in the finals with their selections.

Philly Sixers: C-

The Sixers picked a great Embid with Ebok in the first round, who many say is a top shooting big in the league, and they needed that on Embid. Blksupersaiyan is a solid guy and good player, but him being selected in the first round makes no sense to me. Not saying he’s bad at all, just he could have been picked later on, and there were better Harden’s they could have taken in the first round.

Lucky Dabs is someone I haven’t seen play much but I hear is a good player. Aceboogs seems toxic already on the discord, which will hurt the team if it continues during the season. There doesn’t seem to be anyone who will dominate with Harden, but I hope they prove me wrong.

Nets: B-

I haven’t seen much of the players drafted play, so it’s tough to speak on this team. I do know that they are radio’s guys, which is a big plus since chemistry is important to win. Due to that alone I put a B-.

Having the Nets is already an advantage. If the team they drafted competes at a high level, then this team could be one to watch throughout the season and their grade can easily jump higher throughout the season.

Bucks: B

The bucks went with drafting a team with basically their boys, which again helps in the chemistry part. Especially on the Bucks, you gotta have people who won’t complain with their roles, as Giannis will dominate the ball every game. 

Zha Jesus is a name I’ve heard to be a great player, so my guess is that he will be one of their Giannis’s. MJ and Woozy are both a part of their crew that are solid. I haven’t seen Khaos and Bwall play, but are names to look out for on this team.

This team has potential to win a lot of games in my opinion and put on a good draft.
