User talk:Main 4 Event

In 1994, a videotape of the Entertainers Basketball Classic at Harlem's famed Rucker Park found its way to Jay Coen Gilbert and Seth Berger, two of the partners in AND1 Basketball. The tape, which wound up being the Volume One AND1 Mix Tape and started the streetball craze, featured some of the jaw-dropping moves of a little-known player named Waliyy Dixon. Today, Dixon, known as "The Main Event" in the AND1 circle, is a streetball legend. Dixon's phenomenal slams and moves helped launch streetball into a cultural phenomenon. In one volume he jumped over a motorcycle and dunked. As a player on the AND1 Tour and featured performer in the Mix Tape Series, Dixon is better known than some NBA players. Dixon was an All-American at Linden High School before playing collegiately for Rutgers University and Benedict College.
