Derek 'Domino' Hendrickson

When Derek 'Domino' Hendrickson first stepped on the HBL court, no one quite knew what to expect. Rumors of his ability had spread, but he hadn't actually proven anything. In his first week, he fell victim to the Rookie Slump, and the doubters spoke. However, he silenced his critics while putting together an MVP-worthy season, finishing as the HBL Scoring Champion with an astounding 46.5 points per game, higher than the record for points in ONE game had been before he arrived! He proved himself a complete player, excelling in offense, defense, rebounding, whatever he needed to do. This new force rocked the HBL in 1999, and continued to in 2000, which was his year. He and PureSugar tore through the HBL, finishing first-place en route to their first HBL Championship. In the meantime, Domino won his first HBL MVP Award and his second Scoring Title. In fact, Domino led the league in 7 of the 9 major statistical categories, and was the HBL's best all-around player. Now, Domino is set to return and attempt to continue his dominance of hte HBL!
