Sky Streetball China

BEIJING, China (July 24, 2010) — S.K.Y. Streetball Syndicate opened the S.K.Y. – Shemgod Tour of China with a 108-48 beat down of Street China, in front of more than 3,000 spectators at Chao Yang, a venue for the 2008 Olympics.

Street China, despite a lot of heart, got welcomed to the Syndicate called streetball, as the mostly American team dominated the game and entertained the Chinese crowd with an aerial assault of thunderous dunks and lightning strike of three-point gems, led by the high-flying antics of John “Helicopter” Humphrey, James “Big Swoal” Rhodes, and Guy “Easy Jumper” DuPuy, S.K.Y.’s newcomer from France. DuPuy’s between the legs dunk on two Chinese defenders sent the crowd into a howl. Helicopter windmill was a nasty welcome-to-American-streetball moment.

Antwan “8th Wonder” Scott erased more than a few shots while dominating the paint as Pat “Da Roc” Robinson and Aaron, aka “AO“, Olsen, put on a both a scoring, dribbling and passing show. Dennis “Spyda” Chism played his classic lock-down D on the top players for China as the S.K.Y. team ran mercilessly on Street China.

S.K.Y. Streetball Syndicate upped its record to 21-0, posting victories now in nine countries. The team will play next in Shenyeng Monday before jetting off to Wuhan for a game, July 31. The team finishes off with games in Shanghai the first week of August. The team will be joined by Taurian Fontenette aka Mr. 720 for the final two games.
