Scott Holbert a.k.a. "Jimmy Stopper!"
Photo by Ernest Ramirez
Height 6feet-2inches
Position: Forward/Center
From: Los Gatos California
Ethnicity: American/Chinese
Scott's Goal is to play for the Golden State Warriors. He is an optometry classmate of Jimmy Miyasaka's. Scott has a nice touch from the outside and can be dominating in the post if he puts his mind to it. Scott's goal is to be a better shooter than Jimmy. But he dominates the court at Brea 24 Hour Fitness. Scott is one of the newer members of the Menehune Franchise. Scott will be a dominating force on the inside. He has great hands and can finish. We are very fortunate to have a talent like Scott.
Scott is now known as our top free throw shooter on the Menehune basketball team. His question to Jimmy is... "Jimmy, why am I such a great free throw shooter?"... Jimmy's reply: thats because you shoot 100% from the line... Teams better watch out for Scott's sweet touch from the charity strike!!!! He proved it in his last game going 100% from the line!!!
Scott wanted to share his thoughts on winning his first ABA championship:
"It feels good, a lot of hard work.... I'd like to say it was a team effort. And it was. I felt like like we really came together. Although, its pretty obvious that my individual contribution was phenomenal... All those extra reps in the gym payed off and putting in the extra time really made the difference. This championship win isn't just just for me or the other guys on the team. It's for that 10 year old kid somewhere. Putting up those jumpers, running those 17s, and working hard to one day become a champion. This victory is proof that If you work hard and set your mind on a goal, you can accomplish anything!"

Scott's Goal is to play for the Golden State Warriors. He is an optometry classmate of Jimmy Miyasaka's. Scott has a nice touch from the outside and can be dominating in the post if he puts his mind to it. Scott's goal is to be a better shooter than Jimmy. But he dominates the court at Brea 24 Hour Fitness. Scott is one of the newer members of the Menehune Franchise. Scott will be a dominating force on the inside. He has great hands and can finish. We are very fortunate to have a talent like Scott.
Scott is now known as our top free throw shooter on the Menehune basketball team. His question to Jimmy is... "Jimmy, why am I such a great free throw shooter?"... Jimmy's reply: thats because you shoot 100% from the line... Teams better watch out for Scott's sweet touch from the charity strike!!!! He proved it in his last game going 100% from the line!!!
Scott wanted to share his thoughts on winning his first ABA championship:
"It feels good, a lot of hard work.... I'd like to say it was a team effort. And it was. I felt like like we really came together. Although, its pretty obvious that my individual contribution was phenomenal... All those extra reps in the gym payed off and putting in the extra time really made the difference. This championship win isn't just just for me or the other guys on the team. It's for that 10 year old kid somewhere.

Phillip is one of the team captains for this Menehune Franchise. He plays sparingly out there on the court. He can play multiple positions out there on the court. He can shoot and drive in but dominates the boards. He will guard the other teams center and box him out for the rebounds. He is also a coach out there when Jimmy (his brother) isn't there.

Marc came up to California for the 2010 Tigers Tournament and helped Menehunes to win the Mens A-Bronze division. He was one of the hardest working big men that they had and was selected on the All-Tournament team. He went for a double-double every game he played. He was one inside force to reckon with. He is also a contender for having the most Air Jordan shoes in this Franchise. He dominates the Hawaii 6ft and under leagues at Manoa Recreation Center. We are happy to have Marc join this franchise.

Nick has been the dominating center that Menehunes had. He was a part of couple of the championships. He is now in Hawaii coach for the University of Hawaii Men's basketball team. That is Jimmy's favorite Div 1 team now that Nick is coaching there. We are going to miss him in California but maybe he can come out for a few tournaments sometime.
