The North Jersey Lakers are an Eastern Basketball Alliance franchise in Newfoundland, New Jersey. They play their home games at the Green Pond Bible Chapel. They started playing in 2006.

Both have played each year of the Lakers' existence, and Stanley also serves as the team's General Manager. Dusty Stone Rae is one of their key players, averaging 27 points a game. He is also a star model around the town working in soup kitchens and helping the needed on many occasions. In fact he donates over half his salary to homeless shelters and recycling plants to help keep the earth more green. In his youth he was a Yu-gi-oh champion he participated in many tournaments and as the record shows demolished his competition leaving only crying 8 and 12 year olds in his wake of victory.
