Bakersfield Jam News Release
(Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 6, 2007) - The Bakersfield Jam, members of the NBA Development League, continue their extremely difficult stretch of six of their first seven games on the road tonight against the Iowa Energy.
The Jam look to pick up their second win of the season, while Iowa hopes to snap a three-game losing streak. With a few games under their belt, the Jam's dynamic backcourt duo of Andre Barrett and Scooter McFadgon should be more in synch and Roderick Riley hopes to build upon his impressive performance on Tuesday versus Fort Wayne despite recovering from an injury.
The Jam return to Rabobank Arena on Saturday for just their second home game of the season versus the Anaheim Arsenal. Tip-off is at 2 p.m. for the organization's first Faith & Family game of the year sponsored by Greater Harvest Christian Center and KAXL. The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a 2007-08 Magnet Schedule.
The NBA Development League is the NBA's official minor league, and the first-ever basketball league with direct affiliations to NBA teams. Now in its seventh season the D-League's goals are to provide affordable, NBA-caliber entertainment to fans of its 14 teams, as well as continue to develop players, coaches, referees and front-office personnel for the NBA. As the single source for in-season player "call-ups" to the NBA, fans of the D-League enjoy the highest caliber of basketball played outside the NBA. In fact, former D-League players represented 10 percent of NBA players on 2007-08 opening day rosters, numbering 44 in total. In addition, the D-League has produced 25 percent of current NBA referees and 16 current NBA coaches, including head coach Sam Vincent with the Charlotte Bobcats. The D-League is an innovative and rapidly growing sports property that also serves as an experimental testing ground for new initiatives of the NBA and its teams, provides continuing education and professional development resources for its players, and is committed to serving its local communities through D-LEAGUE CARES and grassroots efforts.
