The 00's streetball era was wild ignorant but I have some of my fondest hoops memories from that era. nikkas hooping in durags, XXL t-shirts, and carrying.

When you actually hit the The Boomerang for the first time

Headache & Alimoe were criminally underrated. And RIP to Big Escalade.

Dude was glue that kept everyone together, especially as they started to grow in popularity and egos begin getting involved. The ESPN deal was a blessing for those involved at the time, but it was low-key the beginning of the end. Rumors of guys throwing games for AND1 under the table (you can't have your attraction being beaten by a random coalition of hoopers) and the Hollywood format removed the grit from it, which was largely the chief appeal in the first place.


Still, Before I ever had a hoop to shoot on, I only had the basketball my pops had given me, so I would spend hours doing nothing other than dribbling. Used to record And1 episodes and practice those moves daily and when the internet started taking off, I had even more access. Next to Iverson, streetball in general was almost chiefly responsible for sparking my love of the game. If you were heavy into streetball, you knew of Dime55, too.

They used to put out "mixtapes" every other week and low-key had some moves colder than a lot of AND1s.



I still remember Tru Baller & Hot Sauce beefing on some Ja & 50 shyt.
