February 2008 - NBA All-Star Weekend In New Orleans
The NBA All-Star weekend provided Tommy with the biggest stage of his basketball career so far. The NBA used Tommy’s basketball tricks and performances to entertain the many thousands of fans that came into ‘The Jam Session’.
The NBA Jam Session is a major event for the fans during the All-Star weekend enabling them to participate in basketball activities as well being a spectator. Below are a few live clips from the many shows that Tommy performed over the weekend, and a few photo’s of some of the celebrates that Tommy crossed paths with at the event.
Tommy meets with Chris Tucker (above left) from the ‘Rush Hour’ movies at the ‘NBA Jam Session. Tommy also came across Jason Kapono (above right) who had just set a new world record for the most amount of 3 point scores in two minutes. This followed his landslide victory in the NBA Footlocker Shootout the night before at ‘All-Star Saturday Night’, when he equaled the NBA record in his final round with 25 points.
Here is an unedited clip from one of Tommy’s many performances over the All-Star Weekend at ‘Jam Session’. If the video stops and starts then put it on ‘pause’ for a minute and let it load first.
Tommy made a great friend with New York Legend ‘Jack Ryan’ aka ‘Black Jack’. Jack is a great basketball entertainer with a powerful life’s story that has been bought by Fox and is currently being made into a movie. Watch out for more from Jack Ryan…
