 The man Escalade himself reports for InsideHoops...
It's monday the 25th and I got back to NY late last night. Had to be in Harlem early this morning for a TV shoot for ESPN with some of the biggest names in streetball. There's John Strickland aka Franchise, Kareem Reid aka Best Kept Secret, Reggie Freeman aka Hi-5, Duane "40" Woodward, Jamel Thomas aka 530, former St. Johns and NBA star Zendon hamilton, and Andrian Walton aka Whole Lotta Game. That goes well. It was good to see the guys.
Tuesday the 26th I'm on a flight to Atlanta. I get off the flight and I'm rushed right to radio for a call-in...

 Oklahoma City was REALLY HOT bro! I mean if it weren't for the rain that put the block party to an end, we would have had to carry the local baller's off on stretchers. The block party was full up with the most talented from the area. We had the kids 10 and under on stage with us and they partied like little rock stars! We had Thomas Scott aka "TdotScott" aka "Tha Dermatologist" the son of superstar coach Byron Scott ball up for the $100,000. Contract. We pulled him in the building as his dad sat courtside and watched proudly. The game on the inside was truly one of the best games so far. We had to really lay the pimp hand down on this one! Loll. But you know how we do. Still undefeated! Check out the action in the media section. Also don't forget to check out the car show we have going on every block party. Street ball and Street Rides is the perfect combo.
In Denver we were surprised with some of the craziest cars in the industry! Usually I start with reporting the look on the courts but Denver had lock on rides. I spoke with a couple of the guys who build these cars and it was explained that the Hot Rod is back. And the way to go is completely custom from the tires to the sunroof. Paint jobs, Wheels, Interiors, under the hood and in some cases the trunks too. Taking old school bodies and adding new lines to them was what the look was about in Denver. The hoopin was on point also. We had a lot of talent out there and we look forward to coming back.

 Troy (Escalade) Jackson grinned as he used his 6-10, nearly 400-pound frame to back down a hapless defender in the parking lot of KeySpan Park three weeks ago.
On the same day in Los Angeles, several of Jackson's former And1 Mixtape Tour teammates were dazzling fans who came out to watch Ball4Real, a competing brand of street basketball that's making its first cross-country trek this summer.
Anthony (1/2 Man, 1/2 Amazing) Heyward, Waliyy (Main Event) Dixon and Aaron (AO) Owens earned big money and nationwide recognition during their years with And1, but as the Mixtape tour celebrates its 10th anniversary, they and others say they saw no alternative but to move forward and make a split... |

 Last Saturday afternoon, a crispy day made for playing pick-up ball, the squad from Queens, NY’s Benjamin Cardozo High School rolled deep to the playground, bringing their entire roster. Ever! Well, almost ever. Ron “The Teacher†Naclerio became Cardozo’s head coach in 1981 and is a one of the most well known high school coaches in the country. For years before A.A.U. basketball monopolized their weekends, Naclerio gathered his players, past and present, to attend an “open-run†of sorts in the school yard of Public School 46 in Queens, not far from Cardozo’s campus. Last year, Naclerio and some of his former players brought back the ritual and now hope to continue the Cardozo High School Basketball Reunion as annual event for years to come.
“This has to be the biggest high school basketball reunion ever! I counted close to 200 former Cardozo players that are here today,†Naclerio says, pausing from running around like a madman in the chaotic schoolyard. “They love being here. To see the guys come back on a consistent basis shows me that they felt something special while they were at Cardozo. It’s one more day for them to get the chance to be part of Cardozo.â€..

Marvin Collins was a pretty good high school basketball player in his hometown of Atlanta. However, a lack of study time kept him from playing for a Division I college or shooting for a future in the NBA.
That didn't stop him from playing his game.
Today, Collins is better known as High Rizer. According to fans of the sport known as Streetball, he is one of the best dunkers in the world.
"I've earned that title," Collins said.
Local fans can judge for themselves today when the Ball4Real national tour makes its stop at the New Orleans Arena. New Orleans is one of 30 cities where the best streetballers in the country get to show their stuff in 5-on-5 competition...
