  As an NBA Canada Dribble and Drive representative we were in association and sponsored by Game Boy, Juicy Fruit, Nike, Spalding etc. Visiting 30 cities across Canada as an NBA basketball festival to promote the growth of the sport. Through the support and promotion of the program it was a momentum building experience for all ages to extend the number of opportunities to “ play the game”. The NBA Dribble and Drive Challenge “ offered participants a free skills competition which tests dribbling, jumping, passing and shooting abilities. Participants receive acres based on their performance and could visit the NBA.Com/ Canada to compare their results with NBA players and other Dribble and Drive participants.”- as news.com June 27,2001 Show less
