    This show is on MTV2 Sundays at 8. It is a tournament to see who is king of world in basketball. There are some NBDL leaders reppin US (Junie Sanders...Erron Maxey). So far its been Junie vs Spanish rep. Also Andre Howard faced some Italian rep. Both US players won. Last night, Erron Maxey lost to this French guy who was like a beast. This show is pretty good. The games arent flashy, its straight up basketball (1 on 1) .

    I'm hoping for an all-USA final.

    Yeah, the show has pretty nice entertainment value. MTV does a very good job on building it up and making it seem better than it is. I think the basketball it self isn't that great. None of the players seem THAT special, calling them king of the world is funny. They just bang and bang and try and get lay ups. If I wanna watch streetball one on one I'd rather watch handles and dunks over big back down players.
    But I have still watched every episode and look to continue to do so. I like that guy from France, man the fans were crazy there. But it didn't make any sense that the defending champ had to go on the road and play his first game in France when the runner up and others got to play in America. What is that?

    MTV builds it up nicely and I will admit I have watched it. But I'm not sure why the Music Television is having a series to find the "basketball king of the world"?
