Each summer, The Entertainers Basketball Classic invades the streets of Harlem, inviting fans of summer league hoops and Hip-Hop alike in the process. But this year, the minds behind the tournament and LineRocket Entertainment present the EBC America Celebrity Basketball Challenge.

Hosted by Power 105.1’s Breakfast Club & DJ Clue, the event will relocate from the iconic Rucker Park to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for a day on July 27.

Borough favorite Fabolous and MMG rapper Wale, as well as the recently added Kendrick Lamar and French Montana will coach teams in the tourney. 

“The Entertainers Basketball Classic at Rucker Park has been a breeding ground for some of the best and authentic streetball players in the world,” says EBC Founder Greg Marius. “This Barclays Center event will take what we do everyday in the summer for 2,000 people at Rucker Park to an unimaginable level at an NBA arena.”
