| For the second year in row, UMCA served as the live event producer for the Nike
Battlegrounds one-on-one basketball competition. Last year, Nike
Battlegrounds King of the Court toured 4 cities and crowned the national champion in New
York. This
year, the competition expanded to include players from Paris, Italy, |
|
|
|
 |
|
Barcelona and
Germany competing against US players from Los
Angeles, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. The preliminary
match ups aired as |
|
|
half
hour shows on MTV2 and
the championship was a one hour special. The
King of the World Championship, hosted by
John Salley, was
an invitation-only event with celebs and
NBA players and featured live performances
by Fat Joe, Lil Flip
and Freeway. This
year's 'King of the World' is Amara Sy from
Paris. He beat last year's national
King of the Court champion from Los Angeles
Erron Maxey, King of Philly Andre Howard
and King of New York Junie Sanders.
