Win Tickets To Attend Band of Ballers Tomorrow!
Tomorrow at a secret location, Converse will host the first ever Band of Ballers 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament celebrating the launch of the new Converse Weapon EVO. If you want to be one of 20 lucky readers to win passes to the event featuring, amongst others, Jim Jones, Pac Div and Asher Roth, then answer the following question:
Which band would have the best 3-on-3 team of all-time?
For example, if you think a 3-on-3 team of John, Paul and George with Ringo coming off the bench is the best would be better than the brother from Hanson, let us know. We’ll pick the best answers and you’ll be attending Band of Ballers tomorrow from noon until five!

The Fu Shickens–Shaq and two of the other members in that group would rule any 3 on 3. For real, who would be able to check Shaq in an amateur atmosphere?

Master P- Played DI ball for a minute at the University of New Orleans before making us all say “UHHHHH~”. Had a tryout with the Raptors back in the day.
Lil Romeo- Plays for USC. Just peeped him at the Say No Classic in LA. Showed a slick handle and range on his J.
Ice Cube- “Last week, f*cked around and got a triple double!”

Pondering this question is likely to be more exciting than attending the event.
With that said, my picks are: Queen Latifah at centre, Snoop at forward, and lil John at guard. I would also favour Bone Crusher for backup centre when (because it WILL happen) the Queen tires out after running two lengths of the court, The Game to alternate for Snoop (and vice versa)when either had had enough of the blunt or have the munchies, and Mos Def as backup guard who never gets any playing time but is just there to trip the shit out of whoever is blazing on the bench.

Eazy E at the point, Cube as shooting guard (he can hit madd wet jumpers) and Dre just working the boards, throwin around pure weight. Ren comes off the bench and Yella coaches from the sidelines…
If it starts getting dirty, they probably just start straight shootin people like billy blanks in The Last Boyscout!

New Edition- I heard Michael Bivins was a decent guard and Bobby Brown probably has Dennis Rodman like game. Bobby Brown even threw down a dunk in an old New Edition video. And Ralph Tresvant seems to have good footwork

FIRST, this contest sucks mammoth’s balls! Try that for a band of balls!
SECOND, if you have been a regular commentor on DIME.com for more than a year do not enter YOU WILL NOT WIN. This is designed for new readers and/or commentors so they can continue to build the fanbase. Cause as far as dudes that have been there they feel we gone be here regardless, so regulars ain’t gonna win ****.
THIRD, if you do indeed do decide to enter, after answering the question promise to make the whole DIME office some type of pastry or dish and you are practically a shoe-in.
FOURTH, DIME will probably design some fake names and comment and call those guys the winners so they simply can keep the prize and go without giving up anything. They straight shady on contest.
FIFTH, It ain’t no fifth. Dime contest are corny and rigged.

i have to saaaaay the best band/team would consist of these three badasses
-Posdnous AKA PLUG #1
-Trugoy the Dove AKA PLUG #2
-Maseo AKA PLUG #3
THATS RIGHT, DE-LA-FUCKIN-SOUL, not only could they game anyone out of anything with their slick wordplay, but De-la would do it with FLAWLESS STYLE probably in any of their THREE NIke SB Dunk lows or Hi’s

Simon says:
The Jackson 5 would clearly win. They have the perfect combination on youth and experience. They have plenty of reserves which gives them great depth. Coach Joe Jackson would not accept anything less than perfection. Oh yeah, Michael was also personally trained by Michael Jordan in the Jam music video and was tight with Magic. Jackson 5 for the win.
