The second annual BMaze Celebrity Basketball Game was held Saturday night at the Knoxville Convention Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. The BMaze stands for Bobby Maze (above), a former University of Tennessee basketball player who put on the game for the second straight year. The game featured professional athletes and former UT Vols. Some of the athletes were Miami Heat players Michael Beasley and Greg Oden, professional street baller Pat the Roc, and Washington Redskins lineman Trent Williams. The former Volunteers included All-SEC performers Scotty Hopson and Chris Lofton, Lady Vol Meighan Simmons, and football lineman Albert Haynesworth.
The player with the ball above is nicknamed White Chocolate, and he stole the show every second he was on the floor. He dribbled around with insane ball tricks that included swinging the ball around through his shirt. He also won the three-point contest and carried around the check for an hour during halftime. Streetballer Guy Dupuy won the dunk contest with a windmill over 8 kids. The pregame and halftime entertainment included lots of hip-hop music. The MC for the night, UT football's MC, was blaring music up to two hours before tip-off. During halftime, YouTube sensations Terio and IceJJFish made appearances at the game; Terio doing his dance and IceJJFish singing.
Celebrity basketball games are a great way to raise money for a community. They are filled with excitement, and if one comes to a city near you, be sure to go.
