I was invited to Celcom S.O.X. All-Stars Hoops' 11 for the Eastern Conference in M.B.K.S. Indoor Stadium Kuching on 3rd of July 2011. It was an amazing and fun event full with skills and actions!
So, what is Celcom S.O.X. All-Stars Hoops all about? Celcom S.O.X. All-Stars Hoops is a 5-on-5 basketball tournament with teams from different schools in Malaysia competing for the title of champion. Well, if you missed last year S.O.X. All-Stars Hoops event, below are some photos for you.
For 2011, S.O.X All-Stars Hoops will go on a nationwide search for the best basketball team. With four qualifiers in the Central, Southern, Northern and East Malaysia regions, this year’s competition will be stiffer. This is especially because of the awesome cash prizes.
For this year’s competition, the champion team will walk away with RM5,000 while the first runner up and the second runner up will get RM3,000 and RM2,000 respectively. The third runner up gets a cool RM500.
We’ll also have special skill challenges like the 3-POINT CHALLENGE, SKILLS CHALLENGE and ALL-STAR GAME where players can show off their skills to pick up some cool prizes! It’s gonna be just like the NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND extravaganza!
