We put out an open call for talent auditions on a search to find the internet's next star hooper. With over a thousand submissions we had to narrow it down to 8 contestants who we flew out to California for an all expenses paid for trip to compete in a series of 1s, 3s and 5s. On day 1 the contestants competed against each other. On Day 2 the Ballislife pannel picked the top 4 to move on to the mystery boss round. And on the final day we had a crazy 3v3 tournament.

38:51rags, I
38:52Feel I fit. No, I'm about to give you your flowers
38:56What I was gonna say about you was defensively you did everything you were supposed to do like you showed
39:01Athletic you was rebounding. It's hard to get the ball when everybody guards so I understand
39:07I know I know but she was doing your thing on defense. Oh
39:11God we gave
39:13Opportunity
39:16Submission tape was rolling out the homie. You call on please do that. Wait, wait, don't do that

39:531v1 who is dropped attitude drop. I was like, I don't even want to be here. You know, I'm saying
40:01cuz first of all, like
40:04I said when I when I was just started hooping, you know, I'm saying I wasn't always cold on offense
40:09but then when I got good at offense, I come here it's like
40:13Damn, he's this up the whole house. I'm looking at the paper
40:19Don't even like being
40:21It's on my phone. So then now it's just like the energy drops. I'm like
40:25That's give you a chip though
40:27But be with chip and I understand that and y'all watch me play before before we open
40:33That's just me though me personally, that's why I'm here
