| 2014 AND1 ambassador Teng Seng Fu putting on a slam dunk demonstration. AND1 3x3 Streetball Challenge, BerJaya Times Square, 23 Nov 2014 |
After three legs in Selangor, Penang and Johor,
the AND1 3x3 Streetball Challenge is coming to Kuala Lumpur for the
grand finals in Berjaya Times Square on Nov 15.
While the main 3-on-3 event has always attracted avid basketballers to pit their skills in the competition, participants can stand out from the sea of players by demonstrating their shooting and slam-dunk skills in the best-shooter challenge and crowd-pleasing slam-dunk exhibition.
By scoring the most baskets in a given time or pulling off the most outrageous slam-dunk, Milo hampers and the StarMetro Slam Dunk Trophy await the winners of the side events.
The search for this year’s AND1 streetballer continues and will take place on the centre court in front of the public to find the next Malaysian AND1 streetballer, worthy of a RM3,000 contract along with merchandise and the Malaysian AND1 streetballer title.
Former winners of the AND1 streetballer contract will be on hand not
only to gauge the skills of would-be free-stylists, but also go
toe-to-toe with them on a one-on-one streetball challenge.
For this year’s grand finals, organisers have added the Men’s Under-25 category to this year’s 3-on-3 competition on top of the usual Boys Under-12, Boys Under-15, Boys Under-18, Girls Under-18, and Men’s Under-21.
Last year’s grand finals held at Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur saw 300 teams battle through their categories from dawn till dusk, with teams from Secret Academy nabbing top spots in the girls Under-18, boys Under-15 and boys Under-18 categories.
The top three winners in each category will walk away with World of Sports vouchers worth RM900, RM600 and RM300.
StarMetro is the official media partner of the tournament, Milo the official beverage sponsor and Spalding the official ball partner.
