From a few emails
and text messages, more than one hundred players around
Melbourne came together for a day we’ll all remember
for a long time as the best day this summer.
The original plan was to do this day 2 weeks earlier,
but the rain made sure the music stayed silent while
the players headed off to MSAC. So just 2 weeks later
we were back at it again, simply calling out every player
we knew to meet us at Prahran. This was no event, it
was a celebration. Just like calling up your boys for
a game, we called up all of you.
The day was like no other, players from the east, players
from the west, players from around the corner, all coming
together for one purpose, to play ball while having
a good time. It was a great thing for us to see players
we’ve met from King of the Court, through the
website or down at MSAC, all in the one place at the
one time.
From about 1pm till 7, the games could not and would
not stop for nothing. We hooked up some shade and water
for the ballers while the winners kept smiling and the
losers kept re-trying. DC, Dre, Sok and Davor from MSF
all represented the name best they know how. Nick, the
winner of KOTC1 was on the court showing why he was
our first tournament champion. Monkeyz and his Melbourne’s
Finest crew were also there showing they had more than
tricks. Dre’s YMCA boys he coaches were all there
showing what they were taught. The Sudanese boys showed
they had some rising talent to look for on the court
and in the air. Dmac’s son’s Tater and Kid
Mac were doing their thing, either on the court or behind
the mic all day. And to the rest of the players who
were there either supporting MSF or just having a great
day out, we appreciate your presence.
We even had a player fly down from Sydney for the weekend
to join MSF while taking a short holiday. Thanks for
your help Matt, we more than appreciate your commitment
and passion for the game by making the trip down to
Melbourne.
Calski from Hip Hop crew Microphonics was the man behind
the beats, bringing along the equipment while being
there with MSF all voluntarily for the love of the game.
Thanks to Tater for stepping up as the voluntary MC
giving out a name to the players with game. Also we
have to give a big thanks to 6 Ace’s, Kid Mac,
Chase, Jamaka and Tessa for putting on a great performance
while bringing their beats to the streets. Appreciation
is an understatement.
Thank you all. We'll be down at Prahran
Park every Saturday this Summer so we hope to see
you all again every week! And maybe we'll even hook
up some music again...
Stay tuned with MSF, all day every day.
