Zobe Bryum

**Zobe Bryum** (1961-2045) was a Revasi basketball player, who played his first 3 years in the Revas Basketball League (RBL), before playing 35 years in the Heyan Basketball Association (HBA). Byrum won 19 championships for the HBA, and 22 in total. He is unanimously considered the greatest basketball player of all time, playing for 9 different professional Heyan teams, and 10 in total.

## Early Life

Bryum was born in Derbyville, Revas. He spent his entire early years on the island, on an upper-middle class family.

Bryum grew interest early on in basketball. His coach taught him post moves at an early age, a set of moves he would one day be an expert at and be nearly impossible to guard. Throughout his teenage years, these moves in the post, along with his sudden burst of height, would make him one of the best up-and-coming players in Revas basketball. With sturdy improvement every year, professional teams across Revas made him professional offers as early as 12, and would eventually sign a contract with the Autio Gravediggers at age 14, becoming among the youngest in Revas to ever sign a contract professionally. He would play one year later at 15, starting every game and averaging 31.3 points per game.

### Liggan's Syndrome

Despite his early successes, his outside shooting was always considered very below average. Being diagnosed with Liggan's Syndrome at an early age, experts had concerns this would affect his game. Liggan's Syndrome made the victim's body stutter often, usually in uncontrollable ways. making it nearly impossible to stand still.

Throughout his entire life, he trained to use his case of Liggan's syndrome to his direct advantage. By himself, he would shoot from just about everywhere on the floor, training his muscle memory for cases such as these in-game. As a result of this, in his early years of professional basketball, he would shoot way above average at some spots on the floor, and very below average at other spots he practiced less on. In his late teen years and early 20's, he would train nonstop on his off days from everywhere he possibly could, which helped him become one of the greatest shooters of all time.

Liggan's Syndrome also helped him develop perhaps the fastest release in basketball history. His shot became unpredictable because of his lightning-fast ball release, and became almost impossible to guard, combined with his post moves and eventual 3-point shooting.

## Revas Basketball League (RBL)

Signing with the Autio Gravediggers at age 14, he made his first start during the 1976 season at age 15, scoring 22 points in his first game. He finished the season averaging 31.3 points per game, helping lead his team to the RBL Championship his first year.

In his next two seasons, he averaged 43.6 points and a huge increase to 59.9 points, respectively. During his second year, he recorded a 103-point game, joining the exclusive club as one of the only players ever to score at least 100 points in a game, doing so the earliest of all players at only 16. He recorded four more 100+ point games in his third year in the league, impressing many. He led his team to a national championship both years, as Autio three-peated.

His early success made him by far the largest young basketball prospect of all time, receiving many offers from almost every country in the world. Primarily, those close to him stated that Bryum preferred to stay on his home island and play basketball over the money, but eventually Bryum changed his mind. He reached an agreement with the Heyan Basketball Association, which was considered the frontrunning league of Naridia. He was submitted into the draft, where he would be unquestionably drafted first overall to the team who won the draft lottery. Bryum packed his bags and headed for Bryum, staying at a hotel until draft night, where he would find out which team his future lies.

## Heyan Basketball Association (HBA)

### Troy Tigers

For his first year in the league, Bryum had some struggles getting used to the new court.
