Testimonials
“This is far more important than 3-on-3 basketball. You must respect and be friendly toward others. No matter what shade skin color, we must learn to get along in our community.”
—Commissioner El Franco Lee, Harris County Precinct One
“I love the competition. We bond together…. I like to get into the game, I block everything else out. I can’t even hear my mom cheer…we play basketball in school; we’re always together…you’ve got to have passion. If you don’t love the sport then don’t play…we do whatever we can to keep our grades up to play our sport.”
