Does anyone know anything about these guys?

Apparently, it's true entertainment basketball called "streetball". Some of their games are now on ROOT TV (formerly Fox Sports Net) and the one that was on today had a team coached by (and named after) former NBA player Rick Fox. It appears there's virtually no rules and about 90% of the points are scored on dunks. There was one play in which a player threw the ball off the shot clock to a teammate who then caught and dunked the ball! Oh yeah, they have referees (who pretty much just call obvious fouls) and some other guy who just walks around the court during play and congratulates the players on great plays. Weird.

the players are formerly of the "And1 Streetball Mix Tape Tour"...it's essentially streetball...think of a mix of Harlem Globetrotters, a dunk contest, and unbelievably talented Rucker Park-like (world famous bball playground in Harlem) basketball all within a game....it's simply for entertainment purposes only....

you can check out their website to learn more about the players (some w/ college experience and others w/ simply "street cred" - similar to Padgett)...

I always enjoyed watching the And 1 Mixtape Tour when it was shown on ESPN. If you enjoy it for what it's worth, then it's quite entertaining.
