Milwaukee Rainbow Warriors

Rainbow Warriors Logo

The Milwaukee Rainbow Warriors are a Woman's softball that me and Zach V. created and hope to actually form in the future. We will be playing in the NPF which is a  pro softball league for college softball graduates. We hope that we can some how be able to get Kelsi Dunne who is a very good pitcher for the Alabama Crimson Tide. We decided to locate the team in Milwaukee instead of Philadelphia because we thought that the fan base here would be greater than in Philadelphia.

Kelsi Dunne

Kelsi Dunne is a college softball player who will eventually be playing in the NPF or National Pro Fastpitch league. She currently plays for the Alabama Crimson Tide and is their starting pitcher, she will be playing on Thursday in the college softball World Series. In her Junior year at Alabama she was named the SEC Pitcher of the year and she got a lot more awards. Next year she will be playing for the NPF Diamonds, in the senior college NPF draft the Diamonds chose Kelsi with the number one overall pick. 

Top of The World

In the 2006-2007 NBA season, the Boston Celtics had only won 24 games and they lost 58 games. They were in need of some help, so during the offseason, General Manager Danny Ainge was able to make two big trades that would eventually change the Celtics’ ways.  What would it feel like to have a tremendous turnaround and become NBA champions in one season.

As soon as the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, everyone was picking them as the favorite to win the NBA championship. In the book I read called Top Of The World by Peter May, he journals what the Celtics went through to win an NBA championship.

 In one season, an NBA team that went 24-58 in the previous season went on and won a championship by adding two superstars to please their own superstar, Paul Pierce. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were the two the Celtics pursued to become great.  In one season they were able to be a 66-win team, but it wasn’t just because of Garnett and Allen. There were also some very good players that they acquired before and during the season that came off the bench and were put into the games.  That is like what my basketball team this year.  We had new players this year and were able to win more games than we did last year.  We also won the Consolation Championship for our league.

The Boston Celtics organization has 17 NBA Championships.  The most recent was won in 2008.  They hadn’t won any championships since the 1986 season. As many people know, it is not fun to be on a bad team and it gets old when that happens for many years.  Paul Pierce experienced that feeling with the Celtics more than Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen did before coming to the Celtics. Both Allen and Garnett had some experience in the playoffs with good teams before joining the Celtics.  However, none of them have had the success they had when all three of them were together. This is similar to what is currently happening today with the Miami Heat.  This the first season that they have three very good players and it is the first season they have made it to the NBA Finals.

  The motto for the Celtic championship season was “Ubuntu,” which basically means one for all and all for one.  This motto led the Celtics to keep winning and winning. Although the Celtics were able to win the Championships in 2008, the closest they have been able to come to winning another championship was in 2010 when they made it to the NBA Finals, but eventually lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Today, the Celtics are a perennial playoff team and are especially good in the regular season. What would it feel like to keep winning and knowing you are a part of one of the best teams in the NBA.
