Nike Venice Summer Basketball
Showdown Sept. 4-7--(Aug. 12, 1998)

This one comes courtesy of Coach Sam Alipio of the Total Impact Basketball program:

Hoops on the blacktop. September 4-7, 1998. The Nike Summer Basketball Showdown. This one is staged by Kenn I. Hicks and the New Social Workers. Various age divisions from 7-18, and a pro division. It is played on the main court at Venice beach. The pro division games are scheduled for Sunday at 3:15pm and 4:30pm. Semi-Finals on Monday 11:30am and 12:45pm and finals at 3:15pm. Should be some great action all weekend long with a slam dunk contest, and vertical leap contest. Nike is sponsoring this event. Whether some of the top players show up, we will have to wait and see, but unless the labor-management fight is over (which it probably won't be) there should be lots of pro guys around who want to get some action and stay in shape, so they should show up in droves.
