This past weekend was a very special one for the Kickz.com family as we hosted the ING-DiBa #SHUTUPANDPLAY 3×3 basketball tournament in our hometown Munich. After the cold and rainy tour stop in Cologne two weeks ago, Munich was quite the opposite experience. The blazing sun and temperatures close to 40°C had not only the […]
Last weekend, the centre of the 3×3 basketball universe was in Cologne, Germany. Though the weather god didn’t seem to be much of a basketball fan, roundabout 100 teams celebrated a weekend of hoops. Teams from all over Germany and the neighboring countries came to play in front of the spectacular backdrop of the Mediapark. […]
Now that the Golden State Warriors have won the NBA championship we can finally admit it. We wanted them to win it. It has nothing to do with being anti-Cleveland, anti-Eastern-Conference or even anti-LeBron. This is not a conspiracy. We know there are tons of LeBron James fans out there (some of them in our […]

And most importantly, how will we – KICKZ – use […]
Last weekend (May 30-31), the 069 Basketball Open took place in Frankfurt/Main. It’s arguably the best and most competitive ProAm basketball tournament in Germany. The reigning champs “Kings of the City Stuttgart” earned a back-to-back title win and also had the MVP Tim Burnette (who works at KICKZ Stuttgart) in their ranks. Many of the players […]
Streetball is passion. Though it is not always beautiful, one could easily call it streetart. It is a rough sport for tough men which does not allow much of weakness. Streetball means competition including embarassement and sometimes even humiliation of opponents. However, it is a basis for friendships because there is one basic ingredient that connects […]
There is this guy in our office who all of a sudden is a Cleveland Cavaliers fan… You know the type. Someone you have known for years but has never admitted allegiance to any NBA franchise, yet suddenly is a fan of one of the best teams in the NBA. “What?! Since when do you like […]
‘Air in a box’. That was Nike‘s simple ad campaign slogan when they launched the Air Force 1 in 1982. The first basketball shoe that featured a pocket filled with air in the heel for cushioning and support.
