From The Windows To The Walls: The Krunk Are All About Marburys

"Atlanta, Here I Come"

First of all, this post has very little to do with Lil' Jon or even Atlanta really, so all those who googled "Atlanta Krunk" are not in the right place. Though I am known to both snap my fingers AND do my step, this post is actually about the Atlanta Krunk, the infamous CBA team.
It seems that the Kenny Anderson coached team has employed Zach Marbury, Stephon’s little brother, as their point guard. Now, I’m sure that Zach is a very capable point guard and in his defense he has yet to get in a fight with Isiah Thomas, but I find it hard to believe that Stephon is sponsoring the team with his clothing line AND Zach is running the point for a totally unrelated reason.
I don’t want to imply that the venerable Atlanta Krunk would give anyone underserved playing time, but I am suggesting that Stephon might get more of a say about who plays and who doesn’t than a sponsor should. Whether Zach got the job based on his skills, he's the team scoring and assist leader, or because his bro supplies the uniforms, a Marbury family dominated team is something I am very ready to see.
Hopefully the addition of And1’s ‘The Professor’ (that’s right, he’s signed on to join the CBA when his contract runs out) won’t disrupt the Atlanta Krunk, who might as well change their name to the ‘Marburyville Marburys’.

The Atlanta Krunk: Stylin' and Profilin'

Now, in what will almost assuredly not become a regular post, Game Recognize Game brings you news from the CBA.
The most exciting news in the CBA is the upcoming season for the Atlanta Krunk, the Continental Basketball Associations answer to a lack of interest from Lil’ Jon fans. Well, this franchise should more than capture their attention. In case you don’t know about the Krunk, I bring you the key aspects of the team through a photo album.
Duane “Spider” Hughes recently announced that the Krunk, formerly the “Atlanta Krunk Wolverines” would be moving from Charlotte to Atlanta, silencing all those who doubted their strangely specific name choice.
Check the logo:



This move was not only met with a myriad of screaming fans but also a stylish new uniform, to be supplied by sole sponsor Starbury.
Check the uni:



As every true hoops fan knows, moves and execution like this would be impossible without true professionals behind the wheel. Former all-star and now coach Kenny Anderson here with co-owner Freedom Williams to his left and assistant coach Lamont Moreno (the guy who looks like Martin Lawrence), to his right.
Check the staff:



And of course, a business opportunity such as this would have investors everywhere peeing their pants. Kenny Anderson isn’t the only lucky guy who gets to be associated with the franchise. Stephon Marbury jumped at the opportunity as well.
Check Stephon cheesin’ with Freedom:



So, if you don’t know now you know… Krunk fans.
