History
The history of the Nike 3 on 3 outdoor tournament is certainly an exciting one. The tournament’s first year was back in 2009, and thousands of the best ballers from Los Angeles and the surrounding areas flocked to L.A. Live to showcase their skills at Los Angeles’ premier basketball venue. We were there and took some great pics of the fans from all over LA who came out to support their favorite teams:
