Justice League of America
Chicago - With the 1st overall selection in hand, the Jordan Night Owls had plenty of options to choose from. While the projected top player Terminal Velocity was there for the taking, along with a plethora of talented centers, the Night Owls chose to draft the kid from Kentucky. His talent, leadership, intelligence and eagerness to win was a must have for the Night Owls. Having Batman's personal trainer employed for the Night Owls was a bonus as they were able to have him improve in the areas that they wished. Also, his nickname is Batman, you have to take a player with a nickname like that!
One of the other reasons for taking a shooting guard first overall was the Night Owl's suspicion that they would be able to nab the second player who was being trained by their trainer, Tank. In their minds he was the 2nd best power forward behind Terminal Velocity, but not by much. With the selection they were confident that they have a good core between the superhero and the war machine.
Next came a big surprise, they decided to take a scoring point guard with the superhero nickname Flash to go along with Batman. Two score first guards on the same team sounds like a risk, but sources say that the Night Owls believe that it will fit and that Flash will be able to develop into more of a play-maker compared to his scoring first days in Chattahooche. While this backcourt is extremely gifted offensively and will give defenses a handful, the Night Owls will need to look into improving their defensive game as they both look to be liabilities.
If two superhero nicknames wasn't enough for an already somewhat overused theme, the team decided to fill their center position with a free agent by the nickname of none other but Superman. Immediately the media caught on and started calling them all sorts of names, and even the players are starting to go along with the idea of them being the Justice League
After the 1st game of the season had been completed, the Night Owls were devastated with the loss to the Roar. Both Batman and Superman got out-played by their counterparts, The Destroyer and Jumbo. "After they beat us, I was walking off the court to head to the dressing room and all of a sudden The Destroyer shoved me to the ground while saying the he was the MVP of the WNBA." exclaimed Batman as he was untying his shoes. "I went up to Jumbo to give him a handshake and he spit in my hand, and told me he spat out kryptonite." replied Superman when asked why Jumbo had publicly scrutinised him to the media. If the 7 footer out of Florida State joining the team isn't enough to call this team the JLA, then I don't know what else will.
