Thunder

Pete played on a lot of basketball teams during his career in FSBL. But by far the best and most entertaining was when he played for the Thunder during the 2012-13 season. Talent-wise, they were certainly one of the top two teams in the league. Coach Zurbach's squad included Pete, Daniel, Easton, Safillah and Esmatullah, Tom Himler, Corey, Chris Rochon, Alexander, and one other player. They were greatly hindered by the fact that they had 10 players (all of the other teams had 9 - a huge advantage because you can play your best player for 3 quarters), they played 5 of the top 6 teams during the season, and they were in the same playoff division as the other top team (Lakers) and the Championship team who had the player who was the league MVP should have already been playing in the NBA.

If nothing else, it was a joy to watch their games.
