All rise for top court action

Clapham Common will be playing host to the capital's most slamming event this Saturday, as Sprite and the NBA host the nation's freshest free street basketball tournament.

Streetball is basketball's streetwise cousin - free-flowing, fast and packed with flair and skill that you wouldn't normally get to see on court. Watch in awe as the young players show off their talents in front of packed crowds.

Kings of the Court will see 32 of London's top streetball teams vying for the competition's prize of £2,000 - and there's sure to be enough mad skills and showmanship to keep everyone entertained.

And, as if that's not enough, there will also be a selection of top acts dropping their brand of hip hop on stage - including Rodney P and Skitz, The Mixologists, DJ Richy Pitch, Joe 2 Grand and The Skywalkers.

The whole day will be hosted by MC Fat Freddie M, using his legendary style to keep the crowd on the edge of their seats and all eyes on the slamming moves taking place on court.

Tipping off at noon, with displays, shows and games, the tournament will culminate at 7pm when the two surviving teams face each other in the centre court final.

This unique celebration of streetball and lifestyle is sure to be full of top tricks, tunes and on-court action - and, best of all, it doesn't cost a thing!

Sprite and the NBA present Kings of the Court, Clapham Common, SW4. Saturday 18th August, 12-7pm. Admission free!
