Every summer in Manhattan's Chinatown there is a 3v3 basketball tournament that could be considered xenophobic in the way that they only allow Asian participants but it goes on without much protest every year.
I was invited by my good friends Caleb and Austin to join the squad as a big-man plus another player named Paul. It was a three guard line-up much like the Phoenix Suns' had with Isaiah Thomas, Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic circa 2015. I guess that makes me Alex Len.
We made it quite far into the bracket in the top tier division with a pool of eight teams.
Below are some of the game tapes. I watch these videos more often than I should but I do it because it brings me back to that incredible day. Competing, sacrificing, joking around and celebrating amongst the hustle and bustle of Chinatown in 70 and sunny weather was unforgettable.
