Bobbito Garcia—a legendary New York DJ and member of the Rock Steady Crew—is not only a storied participant in the New York music scene. The renowned radio personality is also a part of the city's streetball circuit, having co-directed Doin' It In the Park: Pick-Up Basketball, New York City in 2013 alongside French filmmaker Kevin Couliau.
Garcia's enthusiasm for New York City basketball doesn't just extend to movie-making either. Today, Garcia is showcasing his Full Court 21 Championship at Booker T. Washington playground, a one-of-a-kind match-up that will pit one player against five in a game of 21. Crazy, right? How can one player possibly have a chance against five? In a full-court setting, we're about to find out whether talent can trump teamwork.
Even if you can't make it to the playground, the event will be livestreamed via Kiswe, who is releasing an app designed specifically for Garcia's tournament. Check it out here and you'll gain access to team stats, multiple camera angles, and instant replay straight from the court. Clearly, this is no ordinary basketball tournament. Garcia is doing it big, and he's doing it right.
The livestream will begin at 6 PM. For more information, visit www.fullcourt21nyc.com or visit the event's Twitter page, @fullcourt21nyc.
