THR33S Basketball Event in Miami
November 28, 2023 – Miami, FL: Last Saturday, Miami's Bay Front Park transformed into a vibrant hub of basketball, music, art, and community spirit during the THR33S event, part of the Art Basel weekend. Hosted by Aces Collective, the event showcased a unique blend of 3x3 basketball, live performances, and philanthropic endeavors, offering an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Basketball Meets Philanthropy
The highlight of the THR33S Miami event was the 3x3 basketball tournament, featuring the thrilling "Fireball" style play, pioneered by BIG3 founders Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz. With Aces Collective's stake in the BIG3 team Power, the tournament not only displayed high-octane basketball action but also served a noble cause. Proceeds from the event were directed to the Mario V. Chalmers Foundation, reinforcing the community-centric ethos of THR33S.
Star-Studded Participation
NBA Champion Mario Chalmers, a central figure in the event, hosted a youth camp in collaboration with his foundation, offering 90 local youths a rare opportunity to learn from a basketball legend.
Delonte West, a former professional basketball player, made a notable appearance at the Thr33s Celebrity Benefit Tournament, a basketball game organized to raise funds for the Mario V. Chalmers Foundation. West, known for his dynamic playing style during his NBA career, participated in this event to support the initiatives and connect with fans and fellow athletes. His presence at the tournament not only highlighted his ongoing commitment to community and charitable efforts but also allowed fans to see him back in action on the basketball court after overcoming trials himself. The event was a blend of sportsmanship and philanthropy, bringing together various celebrities and sports figures to make a positive impact through the game of basketball.
The tournament saw fierce competition, with renowned street ballers like Ryan "Hezi God" Carter and Frank "Nitty" Session battling it out for a $10,000 cash prize. This spirited contest was a testament to the event's commitment to celebrating basketball culture in all its forms.
Beyond basketball, THR33S was a cultural fiesta. Attendees enjoyed live performances from hip-hop icons Juelz Santana and Bobby Shmurda, while YesJulz and Hoopers Dream kept the energy high with their live hosting. Art exhibits, mindfulness workshops by youth ambassador G is for Great, and various other activities added layers of artistic and cultural depth to the event.
Looking Ahead
The success of the THR33S event in Miami is just the beginning. Aces Collective, under the leadership of Super Bowl Champion Jordan Norwood, plans to expand the THR33S experience to other cities, including Austin, Brooklyn, Las Vegas, and New Orleans in 2024.
