🏀 WEEK 3 IS IN THE BOOKS! 🏀

Final scores have been posted and the standings are officially updated through Week 3.

🔥 Playoff Picture
• Premiere Division: Top 4 teams qualify for the playoffs.
• Open Division: Top 8 teams qualify for the playoffs.

But don’t panic if you’re not where you want to be yet…

⏳ This is a 15-week season. We still have a long road ahead, and plenty of basketball left to be played. Every team will have opportunities to climb the standings, build chemistry, and make a run when it matters most.

We’ve seen teams start slow and finish strong. We’ve seen teams start hot and cool off. The teams that stay committed, keep showing up, and continue improving are the ones that will be playing meaningful games in August.

💪 If you’re near the top, stay hungry.
😤 If you’re near the bottom, keep fighting.
🏆 Every week is a chance to change your story.

🚨 FREE AGENCY ALERT 🚨

Chris Murphy-Cren is officially accepting offers.

Standing at 6’4”, Chris is a bull in a china shop when he gets downhill. Few players in the league can match his combination of strength, speed, and physicality attacking the rim. Don’t let the size fool you either—he’s got sneaky bounce and can rise up when defenders least expect it.

Offensively, Chris thrives as a playmaker, creating opportunities for teammates and making life easy for teams loaded with shooters. Defenses are forced to collapse when he attacks, opening up quality looks all over the floor.

On the other end, Chris brings a defensive mindset every night. He’s capable of playing lockdown defense against multiple positions, embracing physical matchups, and making opponents work for every bucket. Add in his ability to control the glass and you have a player who impacts winning in every facet of the game.

🎉 HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY, KAREL CALCOTE! 🎉

Today we celebrate one of the true founders of The Round League, Karel Calcote.

Many people may not know this, but Karel was the person who came up with the name “The Round League” — a name that has become synonymous with Portland basketball and has helped build a community that has impacted thousands of players over the years.

Since his playing days in Portland, Karel has taken his talents across the country and now works at NBA Headquarters in New York, continuing to make an impact on the game he loves at the highest level.

While his career has taken him far from home, Karel still talks about one day making his return to Portland and getting another shot at something that has eluded him so far — his first Round League championship.

From helping create the league’s identity to representing basketball on the national stage, Karel’s journey has been incredible to watch.

Join us in wishing one of The Round League’s founding members a very Happy 32nd Birthday! 🎂🏀

🎉 Happy 34th Birthday to Bobby Wu! 🎉

One of the most selfless, team-oriented players to ever suit up in The Round League. Bobby has never been the guy chasing individual accolades, stats, or personal recognition—his only focus has always been doing whatever it takes for his team to succeed. The ultimate glue guy. The kind of player every championship team needs.

A true Draymond Green-type competitor—bringing leadership, toughness, IQ, and making winning plays that don’t always show up in the box score.

We appreciate everything you bring to The Round League, Bobby. Wishing you nothing but health, happiness, and another year of buckets! 🏀🔥

Wishing you nothing but blessings, continued success, and a huge year ahead. Keep inspiring, keep grinding, and keep proving why greatness is earned. 💯🔥

Happy 28th Birthday, Charles Jones! 🎂

“The world is overly cruel to shy men and rewards the bold and courageous.”

Sometimes the difference between where you are and where you want to be is simply having the courage to take your shot. Speak up. Show up. Bet on yourself. The world doesn’t always hand out opportunities — sometimes you’ve got to go take them. 🏀🔥

This is bigger than basketball. This is about mindset, discipline, confidence, and building your legacy.

Edward Wallace literally helped design performance footwear for the greatest 3-point shooter ever — Steph Curry. 🎯👟

So it only makes sense that his game reflects it. Pure shooting specialist. Quick release. Deep range. Heat check from anywhere. 🔥

Now the question is… can Sang Phan & the Jollibuckets survive the shooting storm? 👀🌧️

When Chad is feeling good… dude can jump out of the gym. 🤯🚀 Lob threat. Putback machine. Rim shaker. One of those guys that makes you look up every time he takes off.

But Vadeek Leonchik isn’t giving up easy buckets and Koolaid Jammerz will be doing everything they can to keep him grounded. 👀

So what’s the call…

Can Chad catch 3+ bodies at the rim, or does the defense keep him earthbound? 😤🔥
