Ballup All Stars Announce New Zealand Tour Feb 2014


NEW ZEALAND TOUR
FEBRUARY 2014


BallUp
captures the truest essence of the raw form of basketball today, known as Streetball.

Continuing to take the world of Streetball by storm, BallUp announces its first ever Nationwide tour of New Zealand.

With the birth of Streetball in the parks, such as the world famous Rucker Park in Harlem NYC, it has become renowned for its flashy and amazingly talented players.

Founded in 2009, BallUp is the leading Streetball tour in the world, featuring the Ball Up All Stars which include many of the most celebrated and talented Streetball players from the United States.

Superstar players such as Allen Iverson, Jason Williams and Vince Carter have transferred their talents from Streetball courts and graced the NBA hardwood with massive success.

Ball Ups' innovative spin on the game and this years impressive roster of BallUp All Stars, The Professor, Air up There, Special FX, AO, Bone Collector, G Smith and more, have given the sport global recognition, challenging the best players and vowing the audiences across the globe.

The team will kick off an exciting series of action packed games in WELLINGTON 5 FEB to play THE BEST IN THE CAPITAL CITY FROM THE SAINTS then continues to CHRISTCHURCH 7 FEB to take on the TALL BLACK LEGENDS culminating in AUCKLAND 8 FEB for the SUPER CITY RANGERS.

The Tall Blacks Legends team is a testimonial game for former Tall Blacks and Breakers player Dillon Boucher. He will be joined by a number of ex-Tall Blacks including Pero Cameron and Casey Frank - these guys will certainly mix it with the Americans! At the CHRISTCHURCH game you will not only get to see some extremely exciting entertainment from the BallUp All Stars team but also see some of the past great New Zealand players on show.

In addition to some of the most show-stopping Streetball against some of the best basketball players New Zealand has to offer, the highly anticipated games will also feature special guest appearances, musical performances, family entertainment and more.

Special contests during each game will also give select lucky fans the opportunity to meet the players.

No Sports fan should miss this.
