Hood Groove Management Hood Groove Management on 3x3 in Metamorfosis
ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops continues to travel to the neighborhoods of Athens to spread the 3×3, making its fourth stop in Metamorfosi. ΔΕΗ in collaboration with Eurohoops gave colour, vibrancy and... power on Saturday 9 March at the area of Metamorphosis in Athens, with two 3×3 courts, an inflatable court and many parallel activities. The exciting games for young and old alike kept the interest unabated from morning till night, while the Street Basketball Show by Hood Groove artist Dudek had dozens of kids more mesmerized than ever by the "orange goddess"!
More than 130 basketball lovers of all ages from the region participated in the ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops in Metamorfosi. In both the junior (10-13, 14-17) and senior (18+) age categories, many games were decided in the end, catching the eyes of the nearly 1,900 visitors, while a record number of points were scored in the event, with 1018 in 540 minutes of play! Freestyler Dudek's mesmerizing Street Basketball Show delighted boys and girls alike, who ran to learn his secrets immediately after his impressive trick shot. At the same time, children made "airy" dunks on the inflatable court and transformed themselves with bright colors and basketball designs in the Face Painting corner.
The surprise guest was the former international basketball player, Giannis Bourousis. The younger ones were impressed by the height of the European Champion and Second Champion of the World, while the older ones adored him, recalling some of the most glorious moments of Greek basketball in which he had played a leading role. The event was also attended by the Mayor of Metamorfosi, Stratos Saroundas, who did not even hesitate to shoot in the three-point contest, and important representatives of the Municipal Authority.
The ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops highlights the everyday "protagonists" of each neighborhood, and the further spread of 3×3, the popular, fast and dynamic game that from the streets found its way to the Olympic Games. After Korydallos, Voula, Lavrio and Metamorfosi, neighborhoods in Athens and Thessaloniki will follow. Hood Groove Management will stand by the institution, since the goal for sport and entertainment is common.
