summer rosters and…

alright people I was out in Spokane this weekend for the VERY HUGE Spokane Hoopfest. There was about 6000+ teams coming from all over and that led to about 24,000+ PLAYERS only. Our team came out like 8th out of 16 teams. Not bad for probably the shortest team overall…
We got some FIRE Union tees [...]

B4R UPDATE!

Ahhh your boy came through…
 Joey emailed me the other day saying that him and Elevator were facing elimination one game…but they were both safe..Then yesterday was another elimination game and ELEVATOR got sent home. Joey was sad to see the man go but you know it’s competition. That must mean the King is doing something [...]

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 [...]

B4R Update!

Joey told me he had about 15-20 points in the Vegas game, Hawk pulled off some real nice windmills and ‘Vator had some nice jams.
They’re in Sacramento right now for the  Left Coast trip.
Right now contract players are: King Handles, Hawk and Elevator.

What would happen if…

Someone who rose up from the underground like King Handles or Ghost won the Ball4Real contract? I mean for real have we ever thought about this? Guys that we’ve seen grow in front of our eyes like kids. I’ve known Joey since he was 10, I’ve known Mike since he was like 16, 17 [we're [...]

There’s also a HUGE [as [...]

Ball4Real Tour: Seattle [cont.]

Alright..So the game yesterday…During the warm-ups there were some real nice jams and the player introductions were more or less the same as the And1 ones [from what I could tell] but 1/2 Man’s routine NEVER gets old. I think the starting lineup for B4R was AO, Main, 720, FX and 1/2 Man. Right off [...]
