(um….This ain’t a beauty pageant, ladies….this is war! Who is this pale mvp?)
On Wednesday, six “Converse Band of Ballers Tournament” team captains will put their plums on the line….for hardwood-supremacy in New York City….see what celebrities are competing, after the jump!
UPDATE: THE TICKETS ARE ALL GONE. SORRY GUYS .CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!
This Wednesday, your pal Info will be hosting the first ever “Converse Band of Ballers 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament” in NYC, along with my co-workers Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg!
And…this is not gonna be your average celeb slam-n-jam. We’ll have hipsters slamdunking, swag-rappers boxing out, and cool guys crossing over. Its a recipe for disaster hilarity inspiring sportsmanship!
JIM JONES vs. PAC DIV vs. DIPLO/MAD DECENT…
vs. ATRAK/FOOL’S GOLD vs. MATTnKIM vs. ASHER ROTH…
The tournament is closed to the public but, of course, I want to bring some of my missinfo.tv family to add jeers and cheers, so….
EMAIL ME YOUR NAME/PHONE/EMAIL TO MISSINFO@MISSINFO.TV AND TELL ME “WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN?” AND “WHY?”
(Details: I’ll pick 10 winners + guest at random. You must be 18 and over to win. The game is Weds, in NYC, from 12-5. ComplexBlog and DIME Magazine will be filming. And you get extra points for wearing Converse kicks : )
(much love to Dru and Maridi at Cornerstone, and Stan and the whole Anomoly crew)

I can’t attend, monies need to be made. However, it reasons that Jim Jones should win- why? He’s from harlem (hom,e of many playgroung legends) he was mentored by CAm and idolized MAse (both noted NYCHS b-ballers) so why wouldn’t he have an advantage?
