What's up Ridiculous Upside and fellow D-League fans? It's been awhile since I have written a blog and I do sincerely apologize.

As I was relaxing over All-Star break I was wondering what to write in my next blog. I thought to myself, everyone looks like someone. Right? After putting a list together of some of your favorite D-League players, here is the West squad that I have put together...
What a great time for a break! As you all know it is All-Star break for the NBA as well as the D-League. A perfect time to get some rest and relaxation. I am excited to see the city of Dallas put on a great weekend of events for the fans.
