The 5th Edition of the “Basket Fever” 3×3 contest took place last weekend in St. Quentin, France on Sunday. Around 100 players fought for the 1st spot in several contests which included a 3×3 championship, three-point shootout, and more. The event’s highlight was the dunk contest, of course. The competition featured some impressive local dudes and the legendary Slam Nation flyers. Kevin Lescot aka “Da Phenomenon,” who now plays in third-division Italy and has been touring with Slam Nation since age 17, won the contest with dynamite jams. The best was his unique version of the “cartwheel tomahawk.”

Big shout out to Kevin Couliau for bringing me out, and to his brother David for shooting the footage! Unforgettable trip!
Last weekend was the Turkish basketball league all star game. The event took place in the third biggest city of the country, Izmir, a seaside resort, one hour far from Istanbul by plane. Around 10 000 people were packed in the gym for the usual ” foreigners vs. natives” game but also for the Slam Nation’s first show in Turkey.
The foreigners selection won the game 133 : 122 with a incredible performance from a former NBA warrior ,Robert “Tractor” Traylor, hitting 20 points and 8 rebounds for the MVP title. Even more of a spectacle tho was brought courtesy of the one and only french dunking crew surrounding “the dunkfather” kadour ziani, slam nation! sergio boloko, brice de blaine, habib tiour and yann de blaine ate their wheaties for breakfast, performing 4 times during the course of the day, and throwing down a ton of nasty dunks for their huge turkish fanbase.
