When they said they needed a 2 to win there wasn't a doubt in my mind, I knew he was going for 3

didnt know Mahmoud was 48 years old.

You aint no clipper fan if you don't know about Cuttino Mobley and Corey Maguette

Cuttino got so much game

Thanks to Rashard Lewis, a lot of kids around the country this summer will have a chance to see BIG3 games ... for free.

Lewis, player/captain of the 3-Headed Monsters, announced today that he will pay for the ticket of any child (13 or younger) who is accompanied by a paying adult attending games at any of the BIG3’s 10 venues this summer. Lewis made the announcement in a story he wrote for Huffington Post. He explained why it is so important for him to both give kids this opportunity and to reward good role models.

“It’s all about role models, especially parents, and the way they raise their children, guide them in the right direction,” said Lewis. “If we can help in any way, I think that’s good for the community. If we can try to help them just a little bit, maybe that provides the spark that sets them on a better path.”

My recap for those that didn't watch last night:

I went Sunday. My wife is a HUGE AI fan, so she brought tickets for her and her friend. Last minute, her friend backed out so I went. Definitely a nice event, extremely promising. Fab even came out and performed like 5-6 songs or so, so it became a basketball event/concert lol.

People playing:

AI
Al Harrington
Stephen Jackson
Kwame Brown (actually had a great game lol double-double)
Rasul Butler
Rashad McCants
Rashad Butler (hit like 7 3's in a game)
Larry Hughes
White Chocolate
Brian Cook
C. Mobley
Ruben Paterson
K. Martin
Josh Childress
Corey Maggette
Deshawn Stevenson (hit a game winner and was cooking the whole game)
Reggie Evans
Mike Bibby
some others I can't remember right now

People in attendance:
Whoopi Goldberg sat courtside
Harden
Lou Will
Jalen Rose
Paul P
Sam Cassell
AI's mom
and some other's

AI didn't play much; he started and quickly left due to mic issues, must've been tangled with his jersey. Crowd got mad and was chanting "we want AI" multiple times, so he got in. He was def. like 1-6 or more, he hit a jump shot tho.

Dr. J, Rick Barry, GP, and Charles Oakley were some of the coaches

AI is on one of the worst of the teams, probably the worst IMO, but his team pulled it out.

First Larry Hughes and McCants got into it but then Stephen Jackson and McCants got into it badly; like Jackson was sonning him hard; shoving and mushing him even after dead balls and all; he got a tech.

Structure of the game is cool too. 30 min halfs; if you score 30 tho, the half ends; 60 wins the game.
4 pointers are included. Bibby hit two of them.

It's definitely nice and well thought out; there was a point in the 3rd game (4 games total) where there were so many consecutive misses from both teams; it got so bad, the crowd was booing; seemed like Ice Cube was frustrated and it def didn't look good for the game and brand; but they gotta keep in mind these dudes are older and out the league... but im talking like 8-10 straight missed shots, it was ugly.

White chocolate got hurt really bad and you could hear him screaming from the stands. I had really good seats too. Harden and Lou were kinda hating on the former players/making fun of them.. nothing serious but def giving off the "dudes does are trash and were never better than me" vibe lol

I think that's it as far as a recap lol
It was fun and I would attend again.
AI signed stuff briefly; everyone signed stuff and took pics.
Some players sat in the crowd with the fans.
It was good.

Anything I didn't cover, feel free to ask lol

Watched some highlights on YouTube.

AI looked like he was chillin. Same thing he used to do at the Rucker back in the day. Just seeing him had me a little hype though can't lie.

Sucks for J Will. Rashard doing work. GP ain't changed a bit

Edit: Just read AI is a player/coach. He won't be getting much burn.

That DeShaun Stevenson game winner had me hype last night

I watched some of it, and it's better than I thought it would be. Gus Johnson calling it helps also.

Rashard Lewis walkoff FT

Deshawn Stevenson with the game winning 3 I was highly entertained

Anywhere to catch replays online. Pretty curious about this.
