Video: This is what And1 has become...

 
06.22.2007 - Updated on 06.22.2007

And1 used to fill-in NBA arenas. This amateur video we received from a fan shows what they actually became. Take a look at their Coney Island stop on June 16, 2007.

Don’t get us wrong, the players are still here doing their thing on the court. But And1’s management should get back to work and do some promotion if they want to sell tickets.

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. .

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. .

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 . .

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. .

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 f-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? .

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. .

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. .

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 a-------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! .

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. .

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... .
