tales from the street
streetball topics: past, present, future

it’s been a while but..

…I got some good news..and some good news [as opposed to bad news].

Good News #1: If you haven’t heard, the streetball 1-on-1 game of the decade is going down in Toronto on July 29th. Yes, yes, Chris “Tru Baller” Young vs. Joey “King Handles” Haywood. This is a dead serious game being sponsored by Wrigley [Juicy Fruit] among other people they’ve brought on board. Omar the MC [from NBA 3on3] has been working hard to make this happen over the past few months and it’s paid off. They’re doing promo shirts, a promo tour the week before, getting media exposure and have flyers going around. As soon as I have the mock-up of shirts I’ll post it on here [I know that's done!]. It’s gonna be huge! A few of our people from Vancity are going out for the event — I’d go by myself but I’m in LA on vacation that weekend! But the event will be mind blowing as it’s something we’ve all being waiting for for years! But finally it’s coming true. Just to clarify why it didn’t happen before — last year after Joey put on shows in Calgary and Vancouver, Omar wanted him to go out to Toronto and thus he funded that trip. Tru Baller, knowing that he “owned” Toronto just like KH “owned” Vancouver, thought he should be flown as well – but it didn’t happen, otherwise we could have seen this game last year. The past is the past, let’s focus on the future! July 28-29th — Toronto, Ontario, Canada, NBA 3on3 featuring the “Juicy Fruit Battle.” History in the making!!!

Good News #2: I have a contest coming soon [maybe even 2 contests]…I have two sick-as-heck custom made “The Union” BlackTop Hustler shirts that I’ll give away as part of the contest. If anyone has ideas what the contest should be let me know but if you know me, you should know that it’ll involve at least typing a paragraph that’s properly punctuated. When I get the shirts sometime next week I’ll take a picture so you guys can see how dope it is. Oh yeah, I’ll have my B4R shots up shortly!

Pick up line of the week: “Baby..I just wanted to put you on notice, that I noticed you were noticing me and I hope you noticed that I was noticing you too.” [thanks to the iceman hahahahaha!]
