CELEBRITY STATUS /// TITAN 2K12 CELEBRITY TOURNAMENT

I'm not sure why I was invited to compete in this tournament. I am not in any way a celebrity (my only claim to fame is this blog!). And if ever I was, I would probably be on the D-List! HA HA! Nevertheless, I am proud to be among the selected few to compete in the Inaugural TITAN CLASSIC... Ehem... 2K12 Celebrity Challenge, rather.

Professional ballers, TV Personalities, Rockstars and street culture taste-makers were pitted against each other in a single elimination tournament. NBA 2K Supremacy was settled in 4-3 minute quarters. It was very exciting and nerve wracking! My first round battle went to overtime, and was decided by a single bucket!

The games were hosted by Rely San Agustin, and Marc Macayan (MK9 champ and the dude who runs yourdailydoseofmarc.com). I think refreshments and ice cold beer were served by #Shaby's (not really sure about that one), and the muy delicioso hotdogs were provided by Sabrett!

On the far side of the RONAC Court, an Air Jordan exhibit showcasing some of the rarest, most expensive and sought after J's from some of best collectors in the industry were on hand to bring nostalgia, a bit of envy, and a whole lot of excitement to all fans who idolize the greatest to ever do it! Amazing job by Jojo, Rely, and the boys from Lightening Country!

And of course, Titan, who orchestrated this entire event! Amazing job as always! The tournament coincided with the Concord 11 release, and the Titan drop of the highly anticipated shoe will go down in sneaker history as one of the most organized sneaker operations ever. From the chip allocation and dispersal (even resellers started doing trivia games via their respective FB pages), to the system of claiming the pair, any sneakerhead would be hard press to find another event THAT organized and calculated. Congratulations fam!

Alright, on with the photos! By the way, photo credits go to Cess. Except for the bad ones... Haha I took those!
