30/07/07 - Tru Baller vs King Handles HIU Recap by All Day
So friiday I get out there around 12:15 in the morning so I missed all the harbourfront action so I dunno about what happened there.
Before I begin let me just say I got the upmost respect for these 2....So i wrote this not in favor of either...but in respect to both of them as players and people...both are very approachable and respectable human beings and should be judged on that before streetball....they really gave the crowd a show. Saturday starts off nice....the HIU was being played on the opposite side of the stadium as last year so finding it was a little tough for me cuz I dont know that area at all but it seemed like the tournament was much bigger. .. read more.. |

23/08/05 - The Notic - North Stars
It's been four years since the Grizzlies skipped town. For Vancouver, it was an experiment that failed miserably. Stevie Franchise punked the city before he got drafted, and Big Country never lost enough weight. Looking back, Brian Winters and Stu Jackson never had a chance. Today, it's a forgotten city among NBA heads. Maybe the L shouldn't have come here in the first place. Taxes are too high, and the city's lifeblood is rooted in hockey. But every ending paves the way for a new beginning. ..read more.. |

10/08/05 - King Handles Interview
Streetballers are fraudsters. At least, I used to think so. Sit tight for a minute and let me explain. It was some eight years ago at the tender age of ten that I first came across the game as I rode my bike through a neglected corner of the local park. Although already acquainted with indoor Basketball, I hadn't before seen anything even vaguely resembling what was happening on the cracked, uneven asphalt of that dingy court. .. read more.. |
13/08/05 - King Handles The Response
Please understand this, folks: Joey doesn't play. No, sir. As one of the world's elite streetballers, King Handles has established an international reputation for all the right reasons. Hoops, not hype. Tricks, not talk. Spin moves, not spin. He knows as well as anyone that there will be drama, but he's also aware that there's only one true stage for it: the court. Coaches, not directors. Benches, not box seats. Sunlight, not limelight. ..read more.. |
