Joes new owner screening question(s)
Joes new owner screening question(s)
1. Do you have a computer or access to a computer?
if yes, then:
2. Do you know of or ever heard of or been on OSC?
If no then:
Welcome to the ABA.
This has to be what is going on. By the way, there are no letters of credit or deposits being required, there are no backround checks, etc etc. Time to take a good hard look at what Joe is doing to the African-American community which he preaches he is helping so so so much.

Come on, A1. We all know that there is only one question Joe asks a possible owner..."Got 10k?" (apologies to ABARedWhiteBlue).

Honored to have been the 13th player for the Vermont Frost Heaves game on 2-16-07 against the Maryland Nighthawks.
The ABA is the basketball equivalent of Amp'd Mobile.

I can't believe there's that many dumb, ignorant people that would join the ABA after the horrible seasons of 2006-2008.
But give Joe credit for finding all these teams...even if only 1 out of 10 will make it past the first season.

Here is my take on the new teams:
New ABA Teams Added This Summer so Far:
1. Alaska--Too many travel issues--Will fold. No one is even close to them!!!
2. Aurora--Don't know enough.
3. Bowling Green--Shaky ownership
4. Buffalo--Competing with the PBL which is a stronger league.
5. Detroit Hoops--Major market with good teams. No chance.
6. Detroit Zafirs--See above and add that two teams in one city?
7. Fresno Porn Stars--Arm pit of California, weak area for basketball.
8. Hamilton, Ontario--Eh.....
9. Hollywood Showstoppers--Many have failed and so will this one.
10. Kansas City--Basketball area, COULD succeed.
11. Kentucky Logo Stealers--Basketball crazy area, we shall see.
12. Knoxville Storm--Don't know enough to say.
13. Las Vegas Lights---See Hollywood.
14. LA Push Me Back In--See Hollywood and Las Vegas.
15. Modesto--See Fresno, those teams will more or less only see each other.
16. Nashville Broncs--Strong competition with the NHL.
17. NYC Internationalz--HAH!!!!!!!!!
18. North Las Vegas--See Las Vegas, Hollywood, et al.
19. Philadelphia--Competition with the Sixers, Flyers, and college hoops.
20. Phoenix Fury--With Joe Bryant in there........Maybe, but a 1:10 chance.
21. Prescott Valley Rhinos--Close travel, but an unproven market.
22. Sacramento--See Las Vegas squared, LA, etc, etc, etc
23. Savannah--I may actually go see a game there.
24. Shreveport--Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
25. South Chicago--How many Chicago teams does this make?
26. South Texas--Larry will have some games if they are stable.
27. Washington Raptors--Travel issues.
28. West Virginia--No comment because I might offend someone.
29. Winston-Salem--HUGE basketball area, but...........
30. Charlotte--Ummmmmmmmmm, the BOBCATS!!!!

Noticed today that there seems to be "truth" to the Montreal team. I don't think the owners of the Royal have anything to do with the 'new' Martix.

Joe simply asks many open ended questions. He never will ask a yes/no question
1/ Do you want to be involved with sports
2/ Do you like making money
3/ Do you think you are successful
4/ You sound like a really bright guy, are you ready for pro sports
He then gets the mark (ok sorry Joe, the investor) talking about himself awhile and then announces something to the effect off..............
"WOW ________ (insert name here), I'm impressed. You are a strong candidate, normally I have an in depth screening process and ask to see a lot of due dilligance. But I can tell you are a man of your word and a man of the world, where did you get your education?"
"__________________" (insert high school) answers the investor
"I've heard of that place" (Joe frantically googles name) "I mean with a deposit of 10K you really have a great opportunity to really go places in basketball, make a name for yourself"
and then the rest is history............

"If games are missed, it hurts no one" ...... ABA CEO Joe Newman 2/9/09
Due to numerous threats of legal action from certain people.......all of the above is my opinion only and it should be noted that I have never invested in the ABA. It is simply one mans opinion.
