Red Bull Reign 3-on-3 Basketball Game takes place this Weekend

Just after NBA Africa Game, this coming weekend will be another basketball weekend as the Red Bull Reign 3-on-3 basketball competition invades Joburg city (12 August 2017).

Former South African Team Captain Tskakani Ngobeni is excited to see the courts finally being put to use again: “Beirut, as we called it back then, was home to some of the most legendary streetball. Many of the original SA Team players including myself honed their skills there. We spent all our time there in our youth – watching the older guys, learning all their skills.”

“Hosting the Red Bull Reign final there will not only bring back amazing memories for many of us but this refurbishment is also great to honour the roots of the South African legacy of the game in totality,’ Ngobeni remarked.

Red Bull Reign is the only basketball tournament with a cumulative scoring system as teams of three play against each other in rounds with the highest scoring team advancing to the next round. This system essentially makes the event an offence-focused tournament where “it ́s all about getting buckets.”

NBA player Anthony Davis is the international face for the event. “It takes a lot of team work to win Red Bull Reign but it’s also about playing hard, real hard,” says Davis. “It’s a lot of fun, a lot of people come out.”

The winning team from the South African event will compete at the Red Bull Reign global finals at the legendary courts at Barry Farms in Washington DC in September.

Red Bull Reign is open to the public and the surrounding community. Basketball fans are encouraged to come down to enjoy the games and support their favourite teams.

DATE: Saturday, 12 August 2017
TIME: 10AM- 5PM 

PLACE: Ponte Basketball Court (Berea Park, Cnr Abel / Joe Slovo Drive, JHB)
COVER: Open to the Public
