I finally made it to Quai 54, the world’s largest street ball tournament, one played in Paris for more than 20 yrs now held at Roland Garros. Fun, record-breaking sold out attendance, 16 countries rep’d on court and the chance to see Nadir Hifi and Matthew Strazel work their magic up close. Chapeau!

And yes, I had to represent on NBA Draft Day 😉🏀
