Candyman took the community by storm in 2000 by winning Nationals II in Washington, DC.

There is an old saying that goes, "you are only as good as your last game." Nationals II champion, Candyman relates to this old adage well. With all of the attention being placed on new top dog Lou Tillery, Candyman had become the forgotten man. That is until he took it upon himself to let his actions on the sticks do his talking.

Since falling to Wallstreet in the second round of Nationals III, Candyman has been working to get the respect that he once commanded in the community. At the start of the 2002 Madden season, most of the talk centered around Lou Tillery and his dominance in Atlanta, New Orleans, and at the King Of The Couch. All of a sudden, the previous champ had become just another baller in the pack chasing Tillery. But that may have been just what it took to get the fire burning in the former champs belly.

Early in the season, Candyman struggled vs. interleague nemesis Trapjaw, and current national champ LT. However, since March, the former champ has two wins over both LT and Trapjaw, in addition to his Gulf War Championship, HMFL Title, and Four KOTC titles. It is almost certain that Trap and Candy will collide for the HMFL Summer League championship later this month.

Candyman's recent success places him the elite pack of about 5 ballers favored to win the 2002 championship. However, the former champ has not made a commitment to return to Nationals and attempt to become the first baller to win two crowns. Whether it is because of the intense verbal exchanges with other ballers, or other personal reasons, neither Candy or Trapjaw has indicated for sure their intentions to play.
