On a beautiful Sunday afternoon (July 27), EBC America held the Celebrity Basketball Challenge at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York.

The beginning of the event was rough. Tip-off time for the first game was supposed to be at 4:30 p.m. However it didn't start to about 6:30 p.m. During the delay, fans got to see some local performances and a twerk competition. Elle Varner sang the national anthem and the first game between Team N.Y. versus Team L.A. was underway. Team L.A.was in cruise control for the majority of the game until Team N.Y. came storming back for the win. Next was a close one betweenTeam Philadelphia versus Team DMV with Team DMV getting a win.

A lot of rap stars where in attendance. Wale was very involved with Team DMV, even participating during pre-game warm up. French Montana and Chinx also was seen playing a game of H.O.R.S.E. during timeouts and breaks. Kendrick Lamar sat sideline to cheer on Team L.A. along with Ab-Soul and TDE's head honcho Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. Big Sean, Fabolous and Troy Ave performed during intermissions but things got really rowdy (no pun intended) when Rowdy Rebel with GS9 performed "Hot Ni**a."

Also attending was Teyana Taylor, Joey Ba$$, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, Jadakiss, Maino and Stalley.

The championship game was a great one. Team N.Y. clearly had the crowd behind them however Team DMV got the win when it was all said and done. EBC's Celebrity Basketball Challenge definitely brought Rucker Park to Brooklyn.
