Master P In B-Ball Groove With San Diego Stingrays; Donates Tickets To Kids

Master P has completed the first week of the season for the San Diego Stingrays of the International Basketball League, and even though his team has struggled to a 1-3 record, P has put up some strong numbers through the first four games.

P, who wears number 07 and plays the guard position for the Stingrays, is the team's fourth highest scorer with 34 total points, and he's compiled 113 minutes of playing time to date.

The No Limit mogul, better known to his teammates as Percy Miller, has gone nine for 44 from the field, and has only made two out of 18 three-point shots, the latter of which he had demonstrated as one of his strengths during training camp with the NBA's Toronto Raptors (see [article id="1431915"]"Master P Holds Strong During Preseason Games With Raptors"[/article]).

Miller has found his touch at the free throw line, where he has sunk 14 of 19 attempts. In other notable stats, P has tallied 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 15 personal

fouls, 15 turnovers, and three steals in the four games.

The Stingrays opened their inaugural IBL season on November 26 with a 92-116 loss to the Las Vegas Silver Bandits, then bounced back the following evening to edge the Silver Bandits 102-100 in double overtime.

On November 30, the Stingrays were downed by the Trenton Stars 120-130, but in the team's 81-101 loss on Wednesday night against the Baltimore BayRunners, Miller did provide 1,000 free tickets to inner-city kids in the Baltimore area.

As his continues to sharpen his basketball skills, Master P's latest album, "Only God Can Judge Me," has taken a slight dip on the charts, falling from number 46 to 89 in next week's "Billboard" album chart, according to sales figures provided by SoundScan.

The Stingrays next matchup will be an away game on December 4 at the St. Louis Swarm. To follow the progress of the Stingrays and Master P throughout the season (which concludes on May 2), log onto the International
