Adrian Mack grew up in Hitchcock, Texas, a small town outside of Houston. He attended La Marque HS, where he was a three-year letterman in football and four-your letterman in basketball. After high school, Mack packed his bags for Texas Southern University, where he continued to pursue ball outside the classroom.
After much hard work on the playground, he built a name for himself. Known as Konfuzion, Adrian found that his name carried beyond streetball. Read More »
I remember growing up playing in various tournaments in my neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn. This one hot summer day, I saw this kid by the name of LeVance Fields. I was coming from the store and my man said, “Lee Lee is killin’, son. He’s only in 7th grade too, son.” I said to myself, “He’s next from the hood to go.” As the years went by, his game only further expanded.
In high school, our teams would face-off in epic battles. The Brownsville Recreation Center 16 and under league was no joke back then. It was him and Eugene Lawrence (St. John’s alum and Brownsville native) in the back court. Just think about Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings and Brandon Jacobs of the New York Football Giants in the same back field. The games were always fun and exciting. Also another memory I have is when he shared the back court with Eugene Lawrence, and the front court was Antonio Pena (Villanova Wildcat), Saiquon Stone (Southern Mississippi University) and Terrence Portis (St Thomas Aquinas College) playing in S.T.A.Y. at The Cage on Mother Gaston and Sutter Ave. Fields came from a “crime-ridden” neighborhood where the game of basketball is a gateway for people to make it out. Every time he stepped on the floor as a Pittsburgh Panther, while donning the nickname “General Lee,” he put Brownsville on his back. Even though he went undrafted in this past year, he is still keeping the hood happy with his success on the court. Read More »
Name: Troy Dean Nickname: The Myth Ht: 6’1 Wt: 200lbs D.O.B. 9/23/77 Hometown: Madison, Wisconsin Position: Combo Guard
Why do they call him The Myth? Could it be that perhaps the Daze Streetball player/owner brags game mostly found in that non-ball state with the Big Cheeseheads? Yeah…Wisconsin…where its supposedly cold like all the time and nobody plays ball outside of Milwaukee. Pfff…Street basketball is an EPIDEMIC and growing!! Even a state not known for ball, like Wisconsin, has playgrounds and ballers galore.
Okay, okay…even though, hoop heads and historians alike cannot always vouch for Wisconsin in the past, we must look to the present and the future state of streetball. Right now, the dude called Read More »
In an effort to raise awareness for the Maccabi Electra Tel-Aviv vs. New York Knicks game on Sunday, October 18th, all-star players from the Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC) marched from 155th & 8th Avenue (Rucker Park) to 34th & 8th Avenue (Madison Square Garden). Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Migdal Ohr (Hebrew for “Tower of Light”), Israel’s largest orphanage since 1972.
The last game, played in 2007 between the two teams, made history; it sold out! That game was the most in attendance for an NBA or NHL exhibition game at the Garden!

Everyone who came out to support the Fury vs. Bounce fundraiser for Taiwan’s typhoon relief efforts, which pulled over $1000 for the victims of Typhoon Morakot, got plenty of basketball drama for their generosity as the exhibition ended in a dramatic 52-52 tie. Well, as dramatic as a tie can be, anyway. Read More »

Stephane Ashpool, owner of Pigalle and member of the Pain O choKolat crew, was given the honor to artistically design a court located around the same place he spent his childhood. He commissioned Yué “NYNO” Wu to draw figures such as special guest Lebron James, Michael Jordan, Spike Lee, and Jay-Z. Ashpool chose the Venice Beach inspired turquoise, salmon, and burgundy color scheme. The court has wooden and copper backboards, metal nets hanging off silver hoops, and paint splatters in the d. Stephane Ashpool has certainly outdone himself with this one of a kind court.
