Berlin was the last tour stop of ING-DiBa #SHUTUPANDPLAY 2015. The national champions were crowned in all 7 categories. First and foremost, a big THANK YOU to everyone who stuck with us through the rain. The weather wasn’t always perfect during this year’s tour but we won’t complain. After all, the motto is “Shut up and […]

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 […]
Quickly, name all signature basketball shoes you can think of! Air Jordan, check. Kobe X, check. KD, CP3, D-Rose, check check check. Even if you named a dozen shoes, wanna bet that you didn’t name the Converse All-Star aka Chuck Taylor aka the one and only ‘Chuck’? Well, you are excused. After all it is only […]
