The People’s Games Basketball Tryouts

Those who have dreamed of representing their city in athletic competition now have a once in a lifetime chance at sports stardom. Organizers today announced The People’s Games, a new sports concept that offers athletes the opportunity to represent their cities in competition against other US cities in a battle to prove which city has the best athletes in various sports. The program will launch with a basketball competition (L.A. vs. NYC) and will be played at local venues with local sports legends as team coaches. Former UCLA great Lucius Allen, who played on John Wooden’s National Championship teams and later for the Lakers, will coach the L.A. team.
