We put out an open call for talent auditions on a search to find the internet's next star hooper. With over a thousand submissions we had to narrow it down to 8 contestants who we flew out to California for an all expenses paid for trip to compete in a series of 1s, 3s and 5s. On day 1 the contestants competed against each other. On Day 2 the Ballislife pannel picked the top 4 to move on to the mystery boss round. And on the final day we had a crazy 3v3 tournament.

02:49 but I expected it kinda, not to sound cocky or anything.
02:53 I know I performed to the best of my ability.

02:58 the YouTube basketball community, have a chance to go at them.

03:17 I got started with YouTube for a frill, cuz I came to a park and
03:21 I just, you know, was myself, I cooked some [BLEEP]
03:25 Can I say that?
03:26 So really it was about like, I always kept a good connection.
03:30 I hooped with Frig, Devante Frig, that's my guy right there.
03:33 I'm a Frigga fan.
03:34 I hooped with him one time in the park, and he liked my game so
03:37 much that he was like, I think you should come out.
03:39 I went out there to Ohio.
03:41 I did my thing, and he liked my personality and who I am as a person.

03:46 Definitely, I got a big G, I ain't gonna lie.
03:48 I got a big G, shout out to my brothers, you feel me, keeping me sharp.
03:51 I'm not gonna lie, I used to hoop with people like, you know, Regine,
03:55 Jive, all the time by ourselves, bro.
03:57 And we just, we always knew we was good, you feel me?
04:00 And I just, I was the first person to really do it on YouTube, and
04:04 it went off, it took off.
04:06 And I'm grateful for it every day, you feel me?
04:08 It's not as easy as everybody think, to always perform and
04:11 do your best in different places.
04:13 Being comfortable around a lot of people that you really don't know.
04:15 People talk so much crap, it's like you gotta back up what you say, you know?

04:28 I come from a place of like, it's just death, bro.
04:32 There's nothing really there, and I'm glad I get to do this every time.
04:37 It's keeping me out of the way, that's what really made me like, all right,
04:40 I gotta get serious with it, because I had to change my perspective on life.
04:43 Do I always wanna be in Philadelphia, or do I wanna become something better?
04:48 I had to change my mind at the end of the day.
