Streetball is bigger and better than ever and coming to a court near you! The trash-talking. The sizzling one-on-one face-offs. The crazy dunks. Streeball has been rejuvenated, the excitement is back, and fans can get closer than ever to the action this year with the launch of the 30-city arena Ball4Real Streetball Tour. Presented by Mountain Dew, the tour features top stars made famous on ESPN's "Streetball," the best streetball players in the world. The tour kicks off on June 1, 2007 in Seattle, WA at the Key Arena and culminates in the ultimate showdown at the world famous Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 25, 2007.
Brought to you by the masterminds and basketball talent behind the previous years' AND 1 Mixtape Tour, the electrifying Ball4Real Streetball Tour is nothing but real: the members of this tour are not just players in the game. They own the game. Lisa Fusco -- former GM of the AND 1 Mixtape Tour -- and the game's hottest streetball players founded and own Streetball Entertainment and the Ball4Real Tour, which means they answer to no one but the game and the fans of the game. It doesn't get any more real than that!
Also real is the philanthropic mission of Streetball Entertainment, which will give back in every city along the tour, with top players stopping in at local YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, and community centers, engaging in various forms of community outreach. Ball4Real will play in the biggest and best venues in the country, but will pay homage to the streets where all the players got their start by offering fans arena-level play at playground prices, with lower level tickets ranging from $10-$30. This same community spirit informs the Block Party, a free event in conjunction with the tour featuring a Ultimate Rides Challenge Car Show presented by the National Custom Car Association (NCAA) the exclusive sanctioning body in the sport of modern automotive showcasing allowing competitors the ability to showcase and compete with their unique rides at any of the 30 cities, a live DJ, food, prizes, merchandise, interactive activities, and much more ... but most importantly great streetball action with local hotshots competing against the streetballers for a shot at the big game and ultimately a $100,000 Ball4Real contract.
Inside world-class arenas thousands of fans can see their favorite players formerly on ESPN's "Streetball" as part of the revolutionary, brand new, player-owned Streetball Entertainment Ball4Real Tour. Players include AO, Main Event, Spyda, 50, 1/2 Man 1/2 Amazing, Shane the Dribbling Machine, Circus, Special FX, I'll Be Right Back, Killa Kirby, High Octane, Pharmacist, Coach Steve Burtt and Mr. 720 (formerly Air Up There), who performed the first-ever 720 degree dunk during a game in Houston last season!
Ball4Real Streetball Tour is presented by Mountain Dew in partnership with Greyhound, Stephon Marbury's Starbury sneakers, AEG Live, and Spalding.
