Converse Band of Ballers Tournament Ticket Giveaway!!!

The wonderful folks at Converse are going to be bringing some hoop to the A, Above the Rim style.

Their popular 3-on-3 Band of Ballers tournament will be coming to Atlanta on May 1st and I'm really looking forward to it. Jim Jones' team are the reigning champs and they will be defending their crown against squads featuring other music cats including Southern Hospitality (Shawty Lo, OJ Da Juiceman and Pill), Bad News (Jay Electronica, Sean Price, and Donnis), The Black Lips, Of Montreal, Steel Train and Jermaine Dupri & the So So Def Family.

I'm not sure who I'm going to put my money on. Pill always talking about how he's a beast on the court, hell he even told me he whupped {one of your favorite multi-platinum rapper/producers} on the court out in L.A. once so we'll see. I think the team I'm going to keep an eye on is The Black Lips. I've been to one of their shows and heard about others. All I'm going to say is they aren't the type of dudes I want to be having any competitive contact with...expect some Dennis Rodman/ECW type antics from those cats. Other teams, you've been warned.

But yeah, I'm going to be giving away some tickets to the tournament up until the 29th. So lets go ahead and crank up some contests.

I'm curious as to who out there rocks Converse, for real. The first person to send me a twitpic of themselves with a pair of Converse gets a pair. Don't try to be slick and just take a picture of yourself at Foot Locker either. I want to see a real picture. They can be Chucks, Weapons, Jack Purcells...hell even some One Stars from Target. Any pair of Converse will do.

Send a Twitpic to my page @maurice_garland.

Keep coming back to MauriceGarland.com throughout the week for more contests and chances to win. Good Luck.
