People are probably going to say that AND1 is over.. which isn't exactly true. AND1 can still pick up very talented ballers from anywhere. Just give them time, that's what i think...

And1 lost their best players. They don't have anyone worth seeing no more

yes, the article is not saying they don't have good players, the article is saying their management sucks. there is no promotion done what so ever

SURE YOU CAN PICK UP GOOD BALLERS BUT HOW DO REPLACE THE ORIGINALS THATS LIKE TRYING TO REPLICATE THE 92 DREAM TEAM

management sucks! playaz are still sum of da best streetballaz!

They lost they're best players? With the exception of AO, The Air up There and Main Event, everyone else they got on the ball4real tour is pretty lame. Everyone that is still on And 1 is pretty exciting. Silk is probably the best ball handler in the world, baby shack is a freak of nature, and Springs is not only one of the best dunkers in the world his speed and ball handling are uncanny. I was at that coney island game and yes the crowd and promotion for the game were pretty corny. But it was a good game and it was def worth it to go see silks ball handling alone. But lets face it, a lot of the players that left And 1 are either washed up or areunderachievers, I think you can place blame on everybody behind the scenes on both tours. The Ball4real tour doesnt even have a TV deal as of yet and that will probably be their demise if they dont do better promotion soon. Dont sit there and make ignorant statements if you dont know what your talking about.

this is a real shame i know they still have the professor and silk but without AUT and AO, Silk is gonna have to bust his ass if he wants to win games..i dunno Skip created the streetball empire and now all these suckers are forgetting that without And1 they would be nothing at all..real shame And 1 has lost popularity but i think it will come back one day and they'll play against Ball4life and beat the hell out of them!AND14EVER!

i dont see any tricks like hot sauce used to do in volume 3.

I HOPE THIS ISN'T COMING ON T.V. BECAUSE THIS SUCKS THERES NO EXCITEMENT TO IT

Fuck,AND1 plays so stupid&ugly

Went to the Ball4real game in Detriot 2 nights ago and it sucked. The half time show was longer than the game and when they did play there wasn't much excitement. One hour and 40 minutes of garbage and 50 minutes of ball. But what do I know, I'm a washed up, middle aged, cracker from the burbs trying to educate my kids on streetball. Too much B.S. not enough B-Ball. Save your $ and go to St. Cecilia The marketing and promotors forgot what got them there.

My mom who has been going to And1 with me since 04 has always said there is way less people there. I think it's because streetball is more focused on dunks then the dribble tricks. I went to Ball4Real in Chicago, and the only time the crowd got excited was when one of the people on the opposing team started to do dribble tricks. I really enjoy the dribble tricks that Hot Sauce is known for, and Ball4Real just doesn't have the people that can do those. without Skip, streetball is lost. I really wish he'd come back to And1 for one summer. That would be awesome.

True Silk has handles but he's lightweight in streetball stardom. The game between him and Bone Collector just hit the forums not too long ago. All the hearsay about that game is what got him to And1 in the first place. But if anyones seen the video Silk was obvious afraid of BC. AO was the backbone of And1, yeah Rafer a STREET legend but he's still mediocre as fuck in the league. SBA is where its at. Pat Da Rock, King Handles, I'll Be RIght Back, them cats fill arenas, Who wants to see someone dunk nowadays anyway if they aint pullin a 720?

Hey..Proffesor... i Dare you to play 1 on 1 with me... FUCK U......

Hey... The Proffesor,There are so many Streetballers that ever better than U in Siantar City in Indonesia.. Such As Franky A.K.A Papa Ballers, Jacko A.K.A. The Magician, Acong A.K.A The Universe Dunkers.

And1 is garbage. I just went to chicago game yesterday and they lost by like 12. No moves and like 2 good dunks. They didn't put hot sauce in, NONE. He was mad and eveybody was booing. Professor was in probably 2 minutes at the most and didn't do nothing.

Thats what hapens when the management doesnt get down and make things a reality. Too many gimics and starting to create an entertainment empire, we need to see a real game and not lots of video editing. Let them get to work and give us the real And 1 we had in vol 1, 2, 3 and 4 .

Ball4Real gives people a chance to win $100,000 contract at their blockparty. The winner came off the tour bus. He didn't show anything in NY, but he won.

eyz, i dnt kno about people who hatin on AND1 all i'm sayin is i lyk the streetstyle their bringin to the game and all those people who comparin it to NBA "reality check" NBA and streetball are two different games. i'm hopin to see that streetball shyt down under in Australia this year and if the guys play together without that hate that we see sometimes on the court. I know no one will be able to stop them.

***PEOPLE LISTEN***THE REASON AND1 IS LOSING FANS AND PLAYERS IS THIS...AND1 USES STREETBALL AS A TOOL TO PROMOTE THEIR GEAR. WITH THEM ITS CLOTHES 1ST, THEN THE PLAYERS. (WHICH IS STUPID B.C. THE PLAYERS ARE WHY YOU WOULD BUY THE GEAR) 2ND. THE OWNER THEY HAD SINCE DAY 1 SOLD HIS PORTION OF THE COMPANY TO SOMEONE ELSE,. SO THIS PAST SUMMER WAS THE NEW OWNERS 1ST WITH THE TOUR. 3RD. AND1 TREATS THE PLAYERS LIKE SHIT.. FOR EXAMPLE SAY U COME TO AND1 WITH A STREETBALL NAME ALREADY LIKE FOR "MR. DUNKMAN " AND1 WILL COPYRIGHT YOUR NAME SO THEY OWN IT, ANYTHING YOU DO FROM THEN ON HAS TO BE WITH THEM. EVEN IF YOU LEAVE THEY STILL OWN THE NAME. OR YOU HAVE TO CUT A DEAL TO GET IT BACK. THE "ONLY" PLAYER WHO OWNS HIS NAME THATS THERE IS "HOT SAUCE".. SO ITS LOOKIN LIKE BALL4REAL IS TAKIN OVER

wtf? so called streetball fans criticising a team because the stands aren't full...since when was streetball about making money, streetball is a way of showing your game and shining like nowhere else so the fact that the management have not done their job is insignificant because most true streetball fans will get to watch these shows and as ong as that happens the and1 players skills will be witnessed and that is all that matters. on a business front and1 do not make any money from the tickets, at least no significant profits, they make the money through the advertisement of their products on the TV show. #1

I like And1 but they've seriously fell off. I rolen wit Ball 4 Real at this moment. How the hell you go from rec center and move up to NBA arena and end up back in the street. Matter of fact they didn't even play in any street ball courts they played in parking lots. What kind of shit is that. It's bad enough they lost all of there best players to 1 Company which is very sad. Then ESPN is still doing them dirty with crapy air play. gotta stay to 12 at night just to see them. Ball 4 real mixtape will be better. I do like and1 alot it's just messed up to see how things are endeing up for them.

YO HOLD ON DATS GET THIS SHIT STRAIGHT REAL QUICK FOR ALL YOU DICKEATING HATERS I RESPECT BALL4REAL BUT IF IT WASNT FOR AND1 WOULD THEIR BE A BALL4REAL AND AND1 IS LOSING ITS FANS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS LEARNING THEM MOVES NOW A FUCKING BLIND PERSON CAN DO THOSE MOVES YALL GOTTA UNDERSTAND THE GENERATION IS CHANGING NIGGAS IS PICKING UP EASY JUST WAIT TILL LIKE A YEAR AND SEE WUT U GOTTA SAY ABOUT BALL4REAL DICKHEADS

That's why i going wit ball 4 real it's got all the players that i like and grew up watching. Everybody who basically built And1 is on there except Skip and Hotsauce. And1 has lost they haven't put a mixtape out in 2 years, the last tour they showed was weak. Then the guy the put on " the Wolverine" he only played like two games. Those tw games just could have been luck and he probably suck then and1 is stuck with him. Professor, Circus, spyda and air up there at least played 25 to 30games on tour with them b4 they got put on the team. Then they didn't even play their star player Hotsauce or at least gave his crossovers air play. I see what he was talking about hotsauce was probably mad because all his friends went to start something bigger and better and he had to stay on and1 due to contract. Notice that b4r didn't pick up Escalde's big ass cause he would have slowed their pace down tramendicly. B4r has real street guys who play at Rucker, Kingdom, Dykman, hvae been on numbers of diffrent mixtapes, and are known all around. half the guys on the and1 bus named themselfs except Bad santa, the assasinand hotsauce. B4r didn't lose a single game their first summer and1 los to chicago by like 16. B4R played in NBA arenas and did some games in actual street ball courts playing aginst guys like A butta, Franchise and Homocide. And1 played in parking lots at a mall. Guys like I'll be right back, Ao, killa kirby would destroy the profesor, and silk. Speaking of silk i saw the game where he played Bone collector and he got murked. Silk was even scared of him. Profesor played profesional ball in a sall leauge i'll give him that but he still hasn't come to any of the parks in New York to play. I'm going wit B4R.

Yo i agree wit u kid. NY cats play Defense the hardest all those litte 7th grade bobito mixtape crossovers he's doing no profesor would get shut down. Let him play A butta, Homicide , I'll be right back, Alimoe, Headache, Best kept secret or anyone on lace masters. White chocolate is better than him cause he plays ball everywhere he could get on And1 if he wanted to but at this point why as a matter of fact why would anyone want to be on and1. If u want a name come to New York play at a couple of our courts. Let some of our best come at you in front of big crowds and see if u can hold your own. Let an official mc give u a name. No disrespect but Duke tango got a lil to comerical now. Come play somewhere offical. If you live in the west or south go some where ya'll can get a name and play in the toughest or grimest leauge ya'll know where it's at. But if you want the best come to NY

Street Football (Soccer ) is way better.

And1 has fallen off. You can't go from having guys like main event, hotsauce, ao n 1/2 man 1/2 amazing and build a streetball franchise tour and end up with guys like wolverine, 8th wonder and silk. And1 went from a team of real street ball players to a team with regular basketball players. THere i nothing exciting when i see 8th wonder and wolverine and go get it play. Now i'm not saying they suck or anything because they don't but when i comes down to it they can never excite the crowd the way the old and1 team did it. How hotsauce was doing tricks on guys and headache was doing those harlem globetroter moves n sik wit it and ao was just crossing people left n right. My opiion is when everybod left they should have signed guys like bone collctor, pat da rock, skywalker, homocide etc. or should have at least brought guys like alimoe, sik wit it, headache n da future back. No but insted they just took guys from the opsoing team and put them on team and1. then the tour they got now sucks because they only go to like 6 or 7 cities and take on person put him in the final game and sign him instead of making him fight to stay on the bus for 30 cities like profesor, spyda n helicopter did. then they don't even go to any real streetball cours except for barry farms courts in D.C.. sadly ball 4 real did not last for some reason they dided after just one year on tour. I guess they should've stayed on and1. but knowing them they'll be alright all the Ny guys are probably playing at rucker park, dykeman, kingdom or there neighborhood leauges. sik wit it n spinmaster are probaly playing at vience beach. but overall they fell off

I Think It Was Become It Was So Hot Outside,One Of My Homeboys Went To The Dallas Game,It Was Almost 100 Degrees Outside,So I Wouldnt Go Either If It Was That Hot

wow..they have fell off..i saw sikwit, bone collector, hollywood..they still play...but And1 is nothing without them..i heard sikwitit is starting his own league..cant wait 4 that!

Sorry people but it's true, i remember buying a mixtape, And1's volume 9 and thinking it was the greatest streetball mixtape of all time, then i saw the originals, volume 3, 2 and up toabout 6, everything was better then, the tricks, the atmosphere, everything. And then Flash dies, Sauce Quits, Sik wit it, 50and all the other legends get cut and now its pretty much a highschool game with less rules and dunks. And1's finished. Wheres Main Event, Head ache and Alimoe gone.

They lost way too much of their talent the guys that make you say damn. In my opinion AO, Hot Sauce, Sik wit were dope. Now AO gots the Ball 4 life tour with the pharmacist and other former and1 players
