    Is anyone interested in playing in the Rip City 3-on-3 this year? It's on July 29th and 30th (Saturday and Sunday). I asked @SlyPokerDog if the forum could get a team into the media division of the tournament, and we're still waiting for a final answer. If we couldn't I'd still be interested in joining the "adult" division, which would be $130 for the team.

    Who would be interested in this?

    I would if it were the 1997 version. I've got 2047 Brandon Roy knees and I live in Vegas.

    Denny has sponsored an S2 team in the past. Sent me money and I forwarded on to BobDob if I remember correctly.

    That was a good time. I still have the T-shirt.

    I'd participate again, but I'm going to be out of town that weekend.

    If it was 1/4 court I'd play!

    You can make any game 1/4 court if you choose to never cross the free throw line.

    I would love to, but I'm an out of stater...

    Plus I wrecked my ankle playing 6 months ago and still not recovered, getting worried.

    Yeah, it sucks.

    I'll play with anybody, I don't care who haha. I could carry us through the media bracket if we got in! Lol.

    Actually have a friend who plays in a local Mens League that works for CSN that I think played in it last year.

    @SlyPokerDog If we actually were able to get 3 dudes together for this do you know if we could be in the media bracket?

    Maybe you'd be better off calling out specific people who live in the area and have indicated in the past that they have some skill. @dviss1? @Boob-No-More? @Bob Dobalina?

    What you really need to do is get a great basketball mind to coach you. Fly one in from the Middle East if you have to. :innocent:

    Speaking for myself only, do they have an AARP eligible division?

    When you get a team together I will ask. I'm thinking I will have to make the team "staff" members. Forum janitors or something.

    I actually played in this back in my late 20s and early 30s, when I could still move around the court without a walker. It was a lot of fun.
