AND1 has recently partnered with the Philadelphia Mans Basketball League (PMBL) in bringing the 1^st Annual Shore Classic 3-on-3 Tournament held last June 23 (Saturday) in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  The PMBL is one of the premiere basketball leagues in the United States which boasts of combining “the most popular elements of fantasy sports and high level recreational athletics”.  As Center City’s only professional league for young professionals, the PMBL produces Philly’s “most competitive, fastest growing and most interactive basketball social network”.

The League is made up of Philly male athletes from the ages of 21-40, who work in the fields of law, medicine, professional sports, pharmaceutical sales, hospitality, and real-state, among others.  Find out more about the PMBL by checking out this link.

The Shore Classic outdoor 3-on-3 tournament was played on the courts of Ocean City in New Jersey from 10AM til 6pm.  This event aimed to raise awareness and generate funds and donations for the following notable causes: CTCL Lymphoma Cancer Fighters group (for breast cancer research), the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and the inaugural PMBL Jamaican Youth Basketball Camp coming this July.

As with any other 3-on-3 competition, each team required four (4) players who needed to pay $60 each in order to join.  The winning team got complimentary PMBL Season Three All-Star jerseys (resembling throwback ABA All-Star jerseys from the 1970s).  As a bonus, all registered players from the tournament were entitled to a free after-party at the Club Revel (The Boardwalk, Metropolitan Avenue) by 10pm.
