2019 BET Experience 3-on-3 Celebrity Basketball Game
Angela CheriseComments Off on 2019 BET Experience 3-on-3 Celebrity Basketball Game
The 2019 BET Experience 3-on-3 Celebrity Basketball Game brought out some tough competition to battle over whose charity would walk away with $50,000 for the greater good of all humanity. For a first in BET Experience history, three teams went head-to-head and tested the stance of which celebrity has game and which notable figure should practice more in the public basketball realm.
A star studded talent line-up included 2 Chainz, Blue Face, Allan Houston, Sinqua Walls, Sarunas Jackson, Miles Brown, The Game and more who played for charities including Moms of Black Boys United, Sean Anderson Foundation, FISLL, and Boys and Girls Club of Oakland.
In the end, the BET All-Stars team walked away victorious and won the $50,000 prize for the Allan Houston Legacy Foundation’s initiative FISLL Project, a values based model for mentorship, leadership and coaching. Congratulations to all who participated in this great cause.
