Every year during the last weekend in June downtown Spokane plays host to a gigantic 3-on-3 basketball tournament. According to the website, Spokane's Hoopfest is the biggest 3-on-3 basketball tournament on the planet with nearly 7000 teams, 3000 volunteers, and 400 courts spanning 40 downtown city blocks. It is a
real event. Here's a shot of 'center court' where the Open Division championship game is held, along with the slam dunk contest and the awards ceremony.
The Master of Opening Ceremonies this year was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
The weather was perfect for the hooping.
And the fans from around the world came out to cheer on the ballers!

Both Titus and Levi played this year...Nate was planning to play, but a recent shoulder surgery took him out of his game.
