World Basketball Festival: NYC [8.12-8.15]

Couldn't have found a better way to end my summer in the city than with the WBF. Thursday night was the kick-off with a scrimmage by the team USA, entertainment, and a special musical guest at Radio City Music Hall...I got a heads up a few weeks before that this "special guest" was none other that Mr. Brooklyn himself...JAY-Z!

I so badly wanted to go...some of the best basketball players in the world and one of my favorite artist! BUT they weren't selling tickets..so over the past few weeks I was desperately trying to find a way to get tickets...and the way things went for me this summer -- it happened! I got them!

Thanks to @NIKE_NFR and twitter I WON the tickets!! Crazy right, I know... still can't believe it. She asked the question "What was Rajon Rondo's first love?" and being a celtics fan..i knew it was football! I mean look at how long his arms are!!?! So I made it to the opening ceremonies and it was amazing...

Friday and Saturday consisted of festivities and games at the Rucker Park (i'm sure you all remember my Rucker Park story)... well this time I didn't go by myself (your welcome dad). But it was so cool..the put down a dope court and had all types of vendors, giveaways, appearance and what not.

Being a basketball junkie - this was definitely one of the highlights of my summer.
