00:00We're going to start with boss number one on the end, reveal yourself.
00:13We flew eight participants down to LA for a series of one-on-ones, three-on-threes,
00:17and five-v-fives.
00:18It would be judged by their skills, energy, and personality.
00:22On the first day, all participants played ones against each other.
00:25The Ball's Life panel will handpick the top four to go up against the masked bosses and
00:29the big guard himself.
00:31On day two, our panel will also suit up with the masked bosses for the five-on-five series.
00:35On the last day, the bosses and Duke will draft from the eight participants for the
00:39three-on-three series to end it all.
00:42Welcome to Hoop Dreams.
00:50The judges, we're going to get together.
00:51We're going to decide who the four advancing is.

02:46I see the fear now, Floyd.
02:47It definitely felt good to be picked.
02:48I know I had a pretty good performance, so I don't want to say I expected it, but I expected
02:51it kinda, not to sound cocky or anything.
02:53I know I've performed to the best of my ability.
02:55But it was definitely an honor to play against someone who's more than known in the YouTube
02:59Basketball community, have a chance to go at them.
03:01I definitely feel blessed that I was picked.
03:08What's up, y'all?
03:10It's your boy, Sky.
03:11It's the Delf.
03:12You know, it's these guys here, it's Delf.
03:14Coming out of North Philly, you feel me?
03:16Captain Sky.
03:17I got started with YouTube for a thrill
03:20because I came to a park and I just, you know,
03:22was myself, I cooked some.
03:25Can I say that?
03:26So really it was about like,
03:28I always kept a good connection.
03:30I hooped with Frigg, Devontae Frigga.
03:32That's my guy right there.
03:33I'm a Frigga fan.
03:34I hooped with him one time in the park
03:36and he liked my game so much that he was like,
03:37I think you should come out.
03:39I went out there to Ohio.
03:41I did my thing and he liked my personality
03:43and who I am as a person.
03:44So I just got more locked in with them guys.
03:46Definitely, I got a big G.
03:48I ain't gonna lie.
03:48I got a big G.
03:49Shout out to my brothers, you feel me?
03:50Keeping me sharp.
03:51I'm not gonna lie.
03:52I used to hoop with people like, you know,
03:54Rejion, Jive, all the time by ourselves, bro.
03:57And we just, we always knew that we was good.
03:59You feel me?
04:00And I just, I was the first person
04:02to really do it on YouTube.
04:04And it went off, it took off.
04:06And I'm grateful for it every day, you feel me?
04:08It's not as easy as everybody think.
04:10To always perform and do your best in different places,
04:13being comfortable around a lot of people
04:14that you really don't know.
04:15People talk so much crap.
04:17Like, it's like, you got to back up what you say,
04:18you know, like, if I tell you,
04:20I'm gonna give you five buckets straight,
04:21I'm gonna give you five buckets straight
04:22at the end of the day, you feel me?
04:24I'm like, well, I lived my life before.
04:26I come from 30 or 400.
04:28I come from a place of like, it's just death, bro.
04:32There's nothing really there.
04:34And I'm glad I get to do this every time.
04:37It's keeping me out of the way.
04:38I went, that's what really made me like,
04:40all right, I got to get serious with it
04:42because I had to change my perspective on life.
04:44Do I always want to be in Philadelphia?
04:46Or do I want to become something better?
04:48I had to change my mind at the end of the day.
