1994 Basketball Final | return
The 1994 Basketball Final refers to either a final or semi-final that was played in a forgotten basketball league in c.1994. It took place between the R.O.K. Bombers and the Shakala Sonics in Shakala. Prior to the match, the leader of the country, Shane Elliot, printed and spent exorbitant amounts of Shakala dollars in order to sign the tallest available players. The Sonics had 3 times as many players as the Bombers because they were able to sign both Reginald Goldstein and Kent Luxtari before the game. The Bombers were low on players that day, especially because Kent and Reginald usually played for them. The game was initially close, but the Sonics were able to gain a considerable lead. The competition remained extremely tense, and the Bombers were able to make a comeback late in the game; however, the Sonics retook the lead and then stole the ball in the final play. In the final seconds, a player of the Sonics lost possession of the ball, and Scottie Smith of the Bombers was able to clear it and make a 3-pointer with 3 Sonics' players in his face to win the game. Shane was very upset because not only did his team lose the final, but the country of Shakala was previously already having trouble with inflation and was finally getting it under control, and the cost of this match sent the currency's value back into a downward spiral.
