On January 9th, 2010, Nike and Brand Jordan sponsored Elementos, produced by Project 2050, in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. There was a b-ball tournament, dunk contest, b-boy circle, live graf, fusbol action, skateboarding, and no doubt miggety me on the wheels towards the end of the day spinning some soul and rhythms for the heads. Check out this clip from LUB TV of some of the action!
Shout out to Dom Filo, president of LUB and OG Rio DJ first responsible for playing US soul/funk to the crowd there dating back to 1970!
Puerto Rico endured a loss against Brazil in the 2009 FIBA Americas Championship title match last Sunday, yet still qualified for the 2010 FIBA World Tournament with the Silver Medal finish. PR’s Guillermo Diaz showcased his true abilities during the game. From shooting threes outside of the perimeter or showing his vertical from alley-oops by teammates, Guillermo made his presence known. The former Miami Hurricane led that school in scoring as a sophomore and junior, earning him the opportunity to be drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers.
