Rounding out And1 Ph’s blog series “Streetball’s Finest” for the month of May, I’ve caught up with Ced Asuncion aka STYLA, a Baguio-based freestyler who was introduced to me by Ballers Republic lead, Michael “BallHustla” Pablico.


Coordinating with him via Facebook, I got word that the 16-year old ball handling whizkid recently joined an online freestyle battle via the Facebook page “I am a basketball freestyler” (http://www.facebook.com/IAABF).  Competing against 21 other contestants from different countries worldwide, Styla came out on top and got himself an exclusive interview featured on the IAABF FB fanpage.

I’ve posted a video of Styla’s winning entry below, and a screenshot of the IAABF interview (click HERE for the complete transcript, redirected to the IAABF FB fanpage).  Note that in the video, Styla is rocking the AND1 Taichi TGR Mids :






According to Styla, the rules were as follows:
  • 30-second video with consecutive freestyle flow, no fancy edits
  • Should only use one (1) ball
  • Video description: link of the page
  • Deadline: May 15, 2012
