Tonight at 145th & Lenox in Harlem at 6:00pm, Dancy Power aka Sean Bell All-Stars plays defending champions Money Train in an epic battle that will determine who will go to the Nike Tournament of Champions on Saturday.
Coach Rah leads his Sean Bell All-Stars, a team that is mostly Queens (NY) based against Money Train a team that surely gets most of their players from the Q as well.
The game features talent like Antawn “Anti-Freeze” Dobie, B.J. “The Beast” McFadden, Kareem “The Best Kept Secret” Reid, Corey “The Undertaker” Underwood, and Jazz “Total Package” Mansell.
(Friday, August 14th) — Team Bad Boy, also known as the X-Men, led 49-40 against Dancy Power with the legendary MC Duke Tango calling the game. Also, others in attendance included Fat Joe & Co. as well as Harlem’s own streetball legend Ron “Terminator” Mathias who was officiating the game.
For Bad Boy, or Brooklyn’s X-Men, Tommie Gunz came lighting it up with a crazy reverse lay-up to capture a 26-17 lead early in the game. At 5:30 in the first half, Bad Boy built the lead up to ten points but Dancy Power started roaring back. The Kareem “Best Kept Secret” Reid to Jazz “Total Package” Mansell connection kept Dancy in the game by cutting Bad Boy’s lead to six points with 2:00 left. By halftime, the game started to receive more AHHHs and claps than all the ladies who walked into the park in front of the crowd of streetball-hungry men! AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHaaaaa!!! Read More »

MSG Network has decided to not bring back the SUMMERBALL series, hosted by Bobbito and Boobie Smooth, in 2009 after three successful seasons. In 2008, the program attracted the highest ratings of any original programming for the channel. Hopefully it’ll back in the future, write to www.msg.com if you’d like to see SUMMERBALL back on the air!
KINGDOME (114th St. bet. Lenox and 5th Ave.) will start June 13th. There is no validity to the rumor that Puff is sponsoring the tournament this year. It is only word of mouth on the street, allegedly started by Puff himself. So it can happen, but as of yet Kingdome director Huncho and P Diddy have not spoken.
TRI-STATE CLASSIC will reportedly start this weekend June 6 at it’s same 2008 location of Colonel Young Park on 145th St. and Lenox (2, 3 train to 145th). The rumor of the tournament moving to Mt. Morris Park on 120th and Madison has not been confirmed. The league will have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday games this summer instead of Monday thru Thursday.
