As the only national 3on3 basketball tournament, the event is geared towards local basketball enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels in an environment that mirrors the excitement seen only in the NBA. In addition to Humphries' appearance, participants will be entertained by the Raptors' mascot, The Raptor, voted the Best Mascot in 2006 by www.Gameops.com. Some of the special event courts included the Speed Stick 24/7 All Day Challenge, Juicy Fruit King of the Court, Ford Focus Court, Speed Stick Shoot for a Grant Contest, Steve Nash Youth Basketball Skillz Challenge and Rogers My5 Court.
All 3on3 participants received a reversible NBA 3on3 basketball jersey and a gift bag filled with great giveaways. All registered teams received a qualified referee and a minimum of three games.
