July 26, 2008
DELTA JAMMERS Play2Win, playing as Team Sevilla in the inaugural Eurobasket Summer League (ESL) in Salt Lake City, Utah adds another championship to the list of titles won by the organization by defeating Team Munich in the ESL championship game. The 3-day event held concurrently with the NBA's Rocky Mountain Revue featured significant contributions by all 10 players chosen to represent DELTA JAMMERS Play2Win at the Eurobasket event. Among the original 10 players chosen was Kenny Brunner, Delta Jammers Play2Win team leader and floor general, who was unable to participate in the ESL due to a scheduling conflict with the And1 MixTape Tour.
The Championship game was a hard fought game that went down to wire with ESL MVP, Kenneth Walker sealing the victory and the championship with a huge blocked shot in the game's final seconds. Providing lots of energy and making a difference on both ends of the court for the team was Lawrence Trend Blackledge, who came up with numerous blocked and altered shots on defense and some timely baskets. Mike Dale Jr. played good defense and provided some scoring, Shawn Daniels brought his toughness and game savvy making assists, grabbing rebounds and creating court spacing, Jeff McMillan showed his presence as a rebounder and Maurice Spillers did everything including providing leadership.
In addition to Kenneth Walker being named the ESL MVP, the following athletes were named to the ESL All-Tournament Team; Maurice Spillers, Ryan Williams and Lawrence Trend Blackledge. Lawrence was named to the ESL All-Big Man Team. As were the newest additions to our family of athletes Phillip Gilbert and Nick Covington have all also received ESL All-Tournament recognition
