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. In Episode 10 we kick off the 3v3 round robin tournament. In game 1 we have Team Nesco featuring Regjon and Jayo taking on Team Skoob featuring Jah and Cashtro. Regjon had replaced Raggs in the tournament.

01:53Welcome to hoop dreams previously
01:59I
02:30Am
02:34Well, I'm Ray John from Philadelphia
02:37Basketball has been part of my life for just about all of my life
02:41My brother's played basketball growing up and I would always watch them go to the gym and go to practice and I'm like why?
02:47I can't go with them. I why I can't go with them and
02:49Over time. I just actually could start to go with them
02:52And then I fell in love with the game ever since basketball has been what's been waking me up every day just about
02:59It's been part of my life
03:00it's been my life as far as the one-on-one basketball scene is what kind of
03:04Caught my attention a lot because I feel like that type of environment. It's like
03:08It's like beautiful to me enough. I got introduced to that
03:11I want to say last summer with Fern Hill and June's League and you know opportunities was it was pretty good
03:18But I didn't actually didn't see nothing like this coming. So happy to be here. Actually, it feel good. Actually my first time in LA
03:24I always dreamed about coming to LA a but you know
03:27We always want to come to LA as a kid and stuff, but I never thought it would be for now like this
03:30I'm actually pretty dope very dope. Honestly, I didn't I didn't see who basketball taking me out here
03:36maybe a little business and you know, or maybe a
03:39Family trip or a vacation but not not for basketball
03:42I didn't think but I wouldn't rather it be no other way since now that I'm here every day in my city
03:48Philadelphia every day is like
03:50It's like crazy, you know, just a few days ago. We lost one of our very talented rappers fat G's
03:55Rapper Derrick Gant known as fat G's will be laid to rest later today
04:0028 year old was shot and killed right in front of his home on Nortani Street in brewery town
04:04The family of the young rapper says they just want to know why they say he just released a song called no gun zone in
04:10Hopes to help stop the gun violence in the city
04:12It took a toll on the city
04:14But every day is like so much going on like it'd be it'd be hard to kind of stay focused and I felt like coming
04:20Out of high school was my low point because I feel like I made a bad decision as far as well
04:27My future world I chose not to go to college and I chose to go to prep school instead
04:30I honestly gave up on basketball for a while for a period of time
04:33So I feel like that was my low point and then something inside of me just told me like like you ain't done yet
04:37Yeah, it's more water in the bucket
04:39Like I got the drive to get back into playing basketball and doing what I love really
04:43I would like to prove to myself that I'm as good as I think I am, you know, so, you know putting in the work and and
04:50Just having that confidence
04:51I feel like I feel like not only to prove to everyone else but prove to myself like are you really that good?
04:56Are you really that guy? I'm the best where I'm from and I feel like I'm the best where everybody else from too
05:01So I feel like this would be the perfect opportunity to show that
