Alternate History Sports / AltBA Season 2024

It's been quite a tumultuous title defense for the Albuquerque Invaders, but with one week left to go, we've all but secured a spot in the very last playoff berth. The only way we lose it is if we lose to New York and Philadelphia beats Los Angeles while outscoring us by nearly 1800 points. Speaking of New York, we haven't faced the Sentinels since our very first game this season, and both teams look very different as we gear up for the last one. For this week's feature, we have to make a quick turnaround and give it right back to G/F Quentin Grimes, who has been our best player by far amongst all the injuries, and dropped 125 to lead us to a win in LA last week. #GoldStar

And we head back to Honolulu to close out the regular season before we head out on the road for the playoffs. We'll be hosting the Washington Warbirds for this one, and will be in the pineapple alternates. Our featured player will be big double zero, Jonathan Kuminga! #TheBigKahunas

After a long, grueling season, filled with twists and turns (and injuries; lots of injuries), the reigning champion Albuquerque Invaders have made their triumphantish return to the postseason. Due to the smaller field this year, we're already in the semifinals, which of course means a date with Kansas City. The Invaders and Marshals have met in the semis every single season of the AltBA's modern era, so we're very well-acquainted by this point. KC has been a dominant team all season, but notably, the road team has won the postseason matchup each time the two of us have faced off, so maybe history is on our side. As always, we take our postseason opportunities to highlight our top regular-season players, so this week belongs to G/F Austin Reaves. AR-15 put up 20 points, 4.5 rebounds, and almost 6 assists per game - and importantly, stayed healthy down the stretch. #GoldStar

And with that, the regular season comes to a close, and the Honolulu Kahunas are a playoff team for the first time ever. We simply need to go 4956 miles east to New York City and take on the Sentinels. We split the season series with them, so we know we can beat them, despite me as an owner still looking for my first AltBA Playoff win. We're going to be in the green road uniforms for this one, and are featuring one of our star guards, Donovan Mitchell. #TheBigKahunas

We opened the playoffs with an upset on the road over New York, taking down the Sentinels. That earns us another home game, so we'll head 4956 miles west to Hawaiian Airlines Arena to host the defending champion Albuquerque Invaders. It's looking like it'll be 79 and mostly sunny, so the roof will be open and we'll be hosting the first ever outdoor AltBA championship game. We know what the fans like, and we'll be in the pineapple jerseys for this one, and featuring defensive star Jaren Jackson as we look for our first AltBA championship! #TheBigKahunas

After a big upset over the rival Marshals, the Invaders have made it back to the AltBA Finals, just one win away from repeating as champions. Of course, as the #4 seed, we'll have to be on the road again, but if there's one place outside of Albuquerque we'd like to play, it'd be Honolulu. The Kahunas pulled off their own upset, depriving us of a Finals rematch, but allowing us another opportunity to play under the Hawaii sky. With everything on the line, we turn to G/F Josh Giddey. While he only scored 14.3 points per game, the Aussie led the team in both rebounds and assists by a huge margin, and also tied for the team lead in steals. #GoldStar
