BernardBernard is a fearless point guard and natural born leader. He is lightning quick, with great court vision and a wicked jump shot. When he's not playing hoops he's either hanging with his friends, building websites or reading and researching on his favorite subjects, history, ancient legends and unsolved mysteries.
AlexAlex is a tenacious defender and high-flying acrobatic scorer. He plays small forward for the Warriors and usually guards the other teams' best scorer. When he's not flying around the court he's defying gravity on his skateboard and grinding the curbs and rails all over Elmdale.
NinaNina is a super-athletic, super-competitive shooting guard. Nina goes full tilt from the opening tip until the final buzzer. To say she's committed is an understatement. When not playing hoops she is the team's fashionista and aspiring clothing designer with a meticulous eye for detail. She loves shopping for the latest and coolest new styles for her wardrobe and design inspiration.
JuliusJulius is a clever, sharp shooting two-guard with a motor that never quits. He relentlessly harasses opponents on defense and leads the Warriors in steals per game. When not playing hoops he's using his brainpower for all-things-technology, as a computer programmer and game designer.
|
LaylaLayla is a tough and smart clutch shooting Point Guard with a killer crossover that's shakes defenders out of their shoes. Off the court, this social butterfly and aspiring journalist likes to float around getting the scoop on what's new and writing on her blog and social media pages.
MauriceMaurice is the team's muscle at power forward. He's a banger and bruiser in the paint and a rebounding machine. When he unlaces his hoop kicks he likes to stay under the hood, working on his beloved hot rod, inventing wild new ways to supercharge his classic ride.
EricIs the tall & lanky, yet cool and collected center for the Warriors. He is a natural born shot-blocker with a unstoppable jump-hook shot. But when Eric steps off the court he's back to his Music. Eric is a musical virtuoso--who can play almost every instrument--and Elmdale's resident DJ for all local events that need a fresh beat.
G5G5 is Bernard's high-tech, robotic, wisecracking "smart" basketball. He's bouncy, upbeat and always telling jokes. He is the swiss army knife of basketball, equipped with a fun gadget for any situation. He also has a huge database in his memory with information about almost everything.
