Alexi had a really strong year for the Dizzy Devils and helped lead them to another Conference Finals appearance. He was a consistent player and was always dependable throughout the year. With his 5 game MVP's, and week 3 Player of the Week, Alexi had a great resume for the MVP of the year. He beat out Robby for the prestigious award 13 to 3.
In his 9th year, Alexi made his first All-Star Game. He was an import from the power house country Russia and played for 2 teams in his first 2 years. He ended up at rock bottom in the Free Agency market for 2 years.
"I left for Russia for those 2 years, and honed my skills. I gained confidence in during that stint in the league by being one of the top players like I was in my younger years. Then, I knew I was ready to get back, and things are good now, haha."
Alexi then signed on with the struggling Dizzy Devils and has helped build the 2nd edition Conference Finals making machine with Russell. His contract ends next year but, everyone around him is sure he'll stay with the D's.
Semere of the Toros is just an award magnet. He may be having the best rookie season ever. He came out and won the Combine trophy. He was taken 3rd in the draft however. But he didn't let that get him down, as he rose to the occasion time and time again and is now a leader on his team. He missed the All-Star game bid, but that doesn't detract from his great season and playoffs dominance. If he can get his team to win the Championship, it would mark the first time since Season 2 (2007-1) that a rookie was part of a Championship team! What?! This Rookie MVP nomination makes 2 for 2 that the Combine winner was the rookie MVP. Margays, pay attention.
If he can get this Championship, the man would pretty much have experienced it all, Toros fans would hope this makes him only hungrier to become the GOAT. Too early? ok, fine.
