#16 Erie Wave
If they are remembered for nothing else – and they aren't – the Erie (PA) Wave of the World Basketball League came up with one of the all-time great cheerleading squad names: the Eriesistibles. What else can be said about the Wave? They plied their trade in a gimmicky basketball league that had a height limit. Two of their players became so disgruntled with the team that they retired to start their own rival WBL franchise. And shortly after the team folded in the middle of its third season, Wave players and staff learned that they had unwittingly taken part in a massive criminal enterprise.
Erie received a WBL expansion entry in early 1990, just 67 days before tip-off of the franchise's first game. The three-year old World Basketball League had several unique features that separated it from other basketball leagues. Players could be no taller than 6′ 5″ tall. The league played an untraditional May-August summer schedule, allowing minor leaguers from the winter Continental Basketball Association to ply their trade year round. Although the league had only seven franchises in 1990, they stretched across North America from Saskatchewan to Las Vegas to Memphis. To fill out the schedule, the WBL various imported clubs from Western Europe and the Soviet Union, which were not subject to the height limit. These games counted in the standings, but were basically an automatic win. WBL teams routinely pummeled the lumbering foreign clubs, who collectively lost 51 out of the 56 international games played in 1990.
The WBL business model called for the league to hold a 60% equity interest in each club, with local ownership holding the other 40%. During the 1990 season, Erie's local investor was a car dealer named George Turner. Turner caught the basketball bug as a season ticket holder with the WBL's nearby Youngstown Pride, located only 100 miles away and considered the league's model franchise.
The Wave debuted at Erie's Tullio Arena on May 17th, 1990 against the Calgary 88's before an estimated crowd of 4,500. Attendance withered thereafter, as did the team's performance on the court. The 1990 Wave finished in last place with a 12-34 record and posted an announced average attendance of 2,270 per game.
George Turner declined to renew his financial support at the end of the 1990 season. The WBL failed to find new local ownership to replace Turner. When the Wave returned for the 1991 season, they were wards of the league office and its primary patron, WBL founder and Youngstown Pride owner Michael "Mickey" Monus, the President of the Youngstown-based Phar-Mor discount pharmacy chain. The 1991 Wave won 18 games against 33 losses, once again posting the worst record in the WBL.
The Wheels came off for the WBL during its fifth season in 1992. The league's Canadian expansion of the past few years proved quite successful, as clubs in Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and Halifax drew strong crowds. It was the American franchises – many of whom, like Erie, did not have functional local ownership, – that were bleeding the league dry. On June 15th, 1992 the WBL shuttered both of its poorly attended Florida clubs, the Florida Jades and the Jacksonville Stingrays, in midseason. The remaining clubs found the league office – which owned 60% of the equity in their franchises – unresponsive as bills mounted and went unpaid. The trail of financial problems led directly to the league's founder and sugar daddy, Mickey Monus and his crumbling house of cards at Phar-Mor.
On July 20th, 1992 the cash-poor World Basketball League shut down the Erie Wave with 13 games remaining on the regular season schedule. The Wave had a record of 12-26 at the time. Attendance for the 1992 season at Tullio Arena averaged just 1,077 fans per game, compared to a league-wide announced average of 3,194.
In late July 1992, several days after the Wave folded, Phar-Mor opened its 300th store. Days later Monus was ousted when company officials discovered Monus and his CFO were maintaining two sets of books, claiming rapid growth and profits while Phar-Mor was actually generating huge losses and falling far behind in payments to its suppliers. Among other crimes, Monus had embezzled close to $10 million from Phar-Mor over four years to underwrite the operating losses of the WBL and its franchises. The entire financial underpinning of the WBL was revealed to be a criminal enterprise, with the local investors and front office managers in the role of unwitting participants. On August 1st, 1992, the World Basketball League folded in the midst of its fifth season, days after the downfall of its patron. Monus' downfall also cost the jobs of 17,000 Phar-Mor employees – the seemingly robust chain was forced into bankruptcy – and nearly sank the fledgling Colorado Rockies expansion franchise in Major League Baseball, in which Monus was a major investor.
One of the best Wave players was Jamie Waller, a 1987 2nd round draft pick of the New Jersey Nets. Waller led the WBL in scoring in four consecutive seasons from 1988-1991. Waller began the 1991 season with the Nashville Stars and joined Erie midway through, finishing the season with a 26.3 points per game scoring average. Waller was dealt to the Youngstown Pride prior to the 1992 season.
In 2008, professional basketball returned to Erie after a sixteen year absence when the NBA D-League placed the Erie Bayhawks expansion franchise at Tullio Arena. The D-League is the official development league of the National Basketball Association (and has no height limits).

#6 – Florida Jades
The Florida Jades were dreamt up by a pair of disgruntled minor league basketball players in a Saskatoon motel room, took their name from a cheap men's cologne, and ultimately became a sideshow to one of the largest corporate frauds in United States history. Not too shabby for a club that lasted barely sixteen months from start to finish.
24-year old Delray Brooks and 25-year old Eric Newsome came up with the idea of owning their own basketball franchise in the summer of 1990, while both men played for the Erie (PA) Wave of the World Basketball League. The WBL was a summertime minor league basketball circuit with a peculiar gimmick – all players had to be 6′ 5″ or shorter.
"Being players ourselves, I think we have an understanding of what makes a successful franchise," Brooks told Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum. "The players are the cornerstone. You can't cater to them, but you have to have an understanding of their problems. That's what was lacking in some of our other experiences in the league."
WBL league rules called for each franchise to be owned 60% by the league and 40% by local ownership, ostensibly to maintain stability in the league and prevent disenchanted local investors from unilaterally folding their clubs. Effectively, this placed financial control of each of the WBL's nine franchises in the hands of Michael "Mickey" Monus, league founder and President of the Ohio-based Phar-Mor discount pharmacy chain.
Moving beyond just idle talk, Brooks and Newsome turned to Newsome's father, a Vice President at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Buy-in for a WBL expansion franchise in 1991 was $500,000. Using the elder Newsome's contacts, the pair of young and insolvent minor league ballers found a local businessman, Gary Rice, to fund their $200,000 stake for 40% interest in the team. Rice owned a cosmetics distribution company in Georgia. The team would take their name – the Florida Jades – from "Jade East", a discount brand of men's cologne marketed by Rice. The WBL formally introduced the Jades at a press conference in a Boca Raton Holiday Inn on February 7th, 1991. Brooks and Newsome would both serve as Vice Presidents of the Jades…and taxi squad players.
On the court, the Jades put together a strong team for their debut season. Under Head Coach Matt Creamer, the club went 30-21, finishing second in the WBL's Southern Division. The Jades defeated the Memphis Rockers in the first round of the playoffs before falling to the eventual champion Dayton Wings in the league semi-finals.
Newsome, tasked with the business operations of the Jades, told The Boca Raton Daily News that he hoped the club would draw 2,500 to 3,000 fans per game to the Florida Atlantic University's 4,500 gymnasium. Season tickets ranged from $200 to $285 for the Jades' 27 home games in the spring and summer of 1991. Actual attendance was significantly less, with the Jades frequently announcing crowds of fewer than a thousand at FAU.
When the Jades returned for the 1992 season, Rice was gone, along with his proteges Brooks and Newsome. The league increased its ownership stake in the Jades to 80%, as it had in another troubled franchise, the Erie Wave. Less than a month before the 1992 season tipped off, WBL Commissioner John Geletka travelled to Florida to introduce the Jades' new management team. Geletka also worked as a sports agent and the new investors included one of his clients, New England Patriots All-Pro tackle Bruce Armstrong. Local triathlon and road race promoter Steve Tebon of Exclusive Sports Marketing took the remaining 10% stake and served as the club's managing partner, encouraged by Monus' reputation and the rapid growth of Phar-Mor.
The Jades off court woes continued under the new regime. The club only sold a reported 300 season tickets. Renovations at FAU forced the Jades to play 15 of their first 19 games away, at one point spending 22 straight days on the road. Only 900 or so fans turned out for the 1992 home opener against the Winnipeg Thunder. In a bizarre twist, Delray Brooks, the Jades' founder and deposed Vice President of Basketball Operations, returned to the court and earned a roster spot our of training camp.
On June 15th, 1992 the WBL shut down both of its Florida clubs in midseason, eliminating the Jacksonville Stingrays along with the Jades. A WBL source told The Boca Raton News that the Jades operation lost $300,000 during May and June before the league turned out the lights. But the full story was rather more complicated.
As 80% owner, Mickey Monus was responsible for most of the Jades financial burden. But the Phar-Mor offices were increasingly unresponsive to the Jades and other WBL franchises as they desperately tried to get their bills paid. Jades minority partner Steve Tebon reported that of $700,000 promised by the league office to operate and promote the team, only $80,000 materalized. In late July 1992, one month after the Jades folded, Phar-Mor opened its 300th store. Days later Monus was ousted when company officials discovered Monus and his CFO were maintaining two sets of books, claiming rapid growth and profits while Phar-Mor was actually generating huge losses and falling far behind in payments to its suppliers. Among other crimes, Monus had embezzled close to $10 million from Phar-Mor over four years to underwrite the operating losses of the WBL and its franchises. The entire financial underpinning of the WBL was revealed to be a criminal enterprise, with the local investors and front office managers in the role of unwitting participants. On August 1st, 1992, the World Basketball League folded in the midst of its fifth season, days after the exposure of its patron. Monus' shocking downfall also cost the jobs of 17,000 Phar-Mor employees – the seemingly robust chain was forced into bankruptcy – and nearly sank the fledgling Colorado Rockies expansion franchise in Major League Baseball, in which Monus was a major investor.
Guard Tracy Moore of the Jades averaged 25.2 point per game in 1991 en rooute to WBL Player-of-the-Year honors. Moore, undrafted out of the University of Tulsa, used the WBL as a springboard to the NBA, where he appeared in 119 games over 5 seasons from 1991-1997.
Mickey Monus served 10 years in federal prison for his financial crimes.

Quick summary: One Hitter
Trip, Jhené Aiko's sophomore album, is an auditory hallucination, where we are witnessing the out-of-body experience of Jhené in all of her raw honesty and introspective lyrics. It's as if Jhené emerged from the depths of lovers' abyss to host a psychedelic party, with pieces of her mind as hors d'oeuvre.
Fans of Jhené Aiko have always loved her for her vulnerability, along with the marriage of her celestial tones and in-your-face confessionals. This body of work is no exception. Opening with "LSD," the project pulls us through a portal where we hear aural loops of memory as Jhené talks to her late brother, asking him for advice. It transitions to the forest ("Jukai"), as we get deeper and deeper into Aiko's mind, where she shows us the inside-out constellations of what makes love ("New Balance"), pain ("Nobody"), human nature, death, and creation, and how they all melt together to create a beautiful existence that we share ("Mystic Journey"). Each song is conceptual; the present attached to the former but still existing as its own entity. In its genius, the collective body of work is a metaphor for the collective conscious. Through the beautiful metaphysical letter that is Trip, Jhené lets us know that entering the void is the only way out.
Listen to and download the album here:
In-depth album exploration: Smoke Session
Seems to be all we need to understand ourselves, and therefore, each other and the universe we inhabit. And the universe inside of all of us.
"LSD" is an aural exploration, with loops of memory hovering over our bodies. Jhené is talking to her late brother, asking him for advice as she tells him about her struggles since his departure. "All the things you said i shouldn't do/ but those things bring me closer to you." It's an introduction to the trip that Penny will be taking us through, all because of the drug of choice: reflection.
"Jukai" then opens up with sad, melancholy strings. Picture in your mind a vast forest, dewy grass tickling under your feet, as the grey sky curtains the backdrop of your wildest thoughts. Jhené's painting of this serene setting introduces the idea that the only way out is by entering the void. "Hell is not a place…….but a lack of love." Is she in hell since her brother left her side? In a harmonizing trance of paradox and guitar pluckings, the singer reveals that dying might be the only way to make it out alive. Dreading this in-between space, but still in nihilism, there is a glimmer of hope that something is better on the other side.
Penny, penned by her grandmother, is here. She is saved by a man approaching her in the forest. And then we are introduced to bliss. "While We're Young" is quintessential 2017 R&B that puts us back into the present but still reminds us of why Jhené is indeed her own entity in music. She skates over the song with her celestial "ah's" and we begin to understand how an angel's trumpet might sound. Optimistic and hedonistic in the innocent love for her opposite, this track solidifies itself as a ride or die anthem ("We should just say fuck everyone and walk hand in hand to the sun") that lives on the edge of down-right ecstasy.
….And then enters love, not yet bloomed but in full budding. "Love is the answer." With their release of Twenty88 in 2016, it was evident that Jhené and Big Sean were soulmates in the studio and, not to our surprise, in waking life. "Moments" is like being lost in a slow motion kiss. Jhené and Sean create a venn diagram of sound – wet, sexy, tasteful – as their individual styles marry each other, beautifully. We get lost in a slow motion kiss and then lose track of time. "OLLA" is a post-apocalyptic love song. Think jazzercise on acid. Los Angeles on fire, under the moon, melting in technicolor. Though very different than Jhené's usual sensual and slow ballads, it is a gorgeous contrast. She shows her versatility of sound with this 80's-esque pop ballad. Twenty88 re-emerges and dances on top of a synthesized star, reminding us of the fun 2-step that love makes us do.
After the fire we sit in the destruction and taste the ashes of reality. "When We Love" is the audible feeling of sitting in love after the fall and beginning to accept our lover for the flaws and shortcomings. Jhené never knew a love so good, though she pleads to her lover to not "choose me then use me." As "When We Love" fades, we begin to feel the acceptance of the head high we are put in, because of "Sativa."
Swae Lee joins Jhené on the hit of the album, their melodies producing a slow burn, a vibration in our throat from hitting too hard. Don't concentrate too hard on this one; its subtleties are what makes it melt into your subconscious and relax you. "New Balance," the next track, continues that ethereal loosening of the soul. Jhené wrote a love letter to the peace that comes in her life with love; a true balance that resonates and only gets greater with gratitude ("Newer Balance").
As we get deeper into the trance, "You Are Here" rides the alpha wave. Deeper into the trip, deeper into thought and analyzing the connection, it comes as a part of the psychedelic experience when we begin to question our surroundings and the people around us. "I hope you are who you say you are." Shadow thoughts begin to creep and then manifest into full-blown energy on "Never Call Me" and "Nobody," once we're revealed to the true face of the one we loved and trusted. With a self-affirming voicemail from Kurupt, we take a dive into the waters that have flooded all of our lives before: detaching ourselves from our ex. Petite but powerful Jhene speaks to that "fuckboy" energy as she comes to realization. It's a beautiful representation of the duality of anger and still wanting to know why it didn't work out with so-and-so. "You should have called me/ why you didn't call me?" In the flame of anger, we are a slave to pain. "Nobody" is a more self-serving anecdote that illustrates the lonely part of the high. Pride and ego rages and you're left to let the flame that burnt the bridge consume you. Jhené gives us a look into the trips of pain killers and the invincibility we seem to gain from our own pain…
We're left alone in the white room of our own head, with our own voice bouncing off walls to hear ourselves speak. Everything moves slow around us but we are left to face the truth. "Overstimulated" is the hallway before a "Bad Trip," when unmasked broken promises, unmasked faces, and the truth of deceit reveals itself. You begin to recognize your own doing as part of the universe. Sometimes it's easier to return to a state of "Oblivion (Creation)" because the weight of experience and knowing too much is painful. "There's no loving without losing/ there's no living without bruising." Oblivion is the only drug to keep us sane. Jhené sings the hard truth so beautifully.
As we fade back to consciousness, we are greeted with more euphoric visual stories, as we witness the healing of letting go ("Psilocybin") and accepting the present to be able to see the sweetness of being a part of the collective rather than isolating one's self ("Mystic Journey"). Some moments during our Trip are not meant to be intellectualized but merely felt in our spirit ("Picture Perfect", "Sing To Me"). As we are able to recognize the universal beauty that lives inside of our experiences, our surroundings, our own soul, we can raise our "Frequency" to release more positivity and speak life unto others. Speaking in spiritual and metaphysical tongues, Jhené sends us off with affirmations of love, witnessing a prayer of song that binds consciousness and the beauty of the unknown hand in hand. In the coming down, we usually rise – to the occasion, to face ourselves, to understanding. "Ascension" requires actions of us to elevate higher. The universe always finds us in our time of need so that we can get back to our highest selves, and recognize it was right where we were before we left on the Trip…
In all its conceptuality, with the songs blending into one dream, each track is a distinct hallucination on its own. At culmination, Jhené is able to tie in all the emotions that are carried on the journey of life, unpacking the whole Trip at the end to time travel backwards. I believe you can listen to the album front to back and back to front. In the cyclical nature of life, all moments are crashing together, dying, exploding, lighting up the sky, and being born into each collision. Penny's realness and vulnerability takes us through the cosmos of our own being; the metaphysical human experience…
