1. All Street ball Franchise (5) Players: Me, 50, Flight, Spider, Violator 2. Many say that true street ballers only come from New York City. How does being from Atlanta influence the way you play? I just hold it down and hold my own

5. Shout outs and famous last words? I want to shout out my family in Jacksonville, my girl, her family, and all my people from around the way.
Philip Champion AKA Hot Sauce is one of the most popular growing streetballers ever. He started off on the And1 Mixtape Volume 3 and has now become a superstar. He is originally from Brooklyn, New York. He was charged with a misdemeanor crime and he could either pay his fine or serve his time. Mark Edwards, a friend of Hot Sauce who worked for And1 got him out of jail and moved him to Atlanta.
From there on he blew up and became well known in playgrounds all over America. He has embarrassed the likes of former Arizona point guard now center fielder for the Cleveland Indians Kenny Lofton, Jaquez Green, Reidel Anthony, and Derek Bell. Not to mention all of the ballers on the And1 mixtape. If Hot Sauce keeps making unique moves like The Hypnotizer, The Boomerang, The Hurricane and The Flinstone Shuffle he will be the most known streetballer since Skip To My Lou.
Philip Champion A.K.A. Hot Sauce is the most asked about street balla since Rafer "Skip To My Lou" Alston. The reason he’s become so popular is because people just can’t believe the handle. Featured in And 1 mix tape volume 3, this balla impressed everyone including the HoopsRUs.Net staff. Hot Sauce claims to have over one hundred moves, and has even given them colorful names such as "The Hypnotizer", "The Windmill", and possibly the most famous of all "The Boomerang".
HoopsRus.Net had Hot Sauce pull out some of his rare moves such as the "Slow MO Cross" where he hits you with fast crossovers, and then all of a sudden his whole body slows to a crawl. Sauce has a version of "The Bowling Ball" which is different from the one "Trix’s" uses, yet still impressive. His wingspan makes his cross over extremely effective. He’s able to anticipate opponents leaning, which is when they get done.
Defenders need not feel bad, they aren’t the first and won’t be the last to be embarrassed by Sauce. His jumper is a little awkward, more of a set shot but it is very effective and he has no problem getting his own shot. This six foot one, one hundred and seventy pound point guard is silky smooth in everything he does on the court and his flamboyant game keeps defenders from playing him too closely.
His creativity on the fly is incredible. His court awareness and vision rivals the streetball Gods. We have watched him set up defenders like a magician sets up his audience up for the payoff. Putting on a show is what he lives for on the court, especially in front of an audience.
During our Ballaz Weekend Extravaganza, Hot Sauce won the admiration of all of the Professional Athletes that played in the Celebrity Game. Before the game "Sauce" dazzled Derek Bell (Pittsburgh Pirates), Kenny Lofton (Cleveland Indians), Jaquez Green (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Reidel Anthony (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) with his free style dribbling. Jaquez Green wanted the challenge of guarding Sauce. Green, Wide receiver by trade has great footwork and was up to task.
"Sauce" broke him down a few times but Jaquez got his as well. Then it was Kenny Lofton’s turn, Lofton, who played point guard for Arizona didn’t fare as well. Sauce hit him with three hard cross overs that left him standing there. Our staff writers have been streetball fans for years and we haven’t seen a buzz like this about a player since "Skip To My Lou" was fifteen years old. In a short time he has become a streetball legend. He has yet to prove himself in the streetball wars in New York City, but he came to play and show why The "Sauce" is "Hot"

STREET BALL LIFE
ARTI STREETBALL
Kalau
banyak yang bertanya apa arti streetball, ini adalah sebagian arti dari
streetball yang saya tulis dari buku “THE ART OF INDONESIAN
STREETBALL”.
Streetball berasal dari kata street dan basketball, yang
jika digabungkan menjadi bola basket jalanan. Tapi streetball lebih
dari hanya sekedar permainan bola basket. Streetball adalah kebebasan,
kehormatan, dan kecintaan terhadap permainan bolabasket. Intinya,
streetball kembali lagi pada respek terhadap apa pun, termasuk terhadap
permainan dan lingkungan sekitar. Tanpa respek untuk permainan bola
basket, tidak akan ada permainan bola basket.
Streetball
dan reguler basketball adalah dua olahraga yang berbeda. Sebuah
permainan basketball diatur oleh wasit dengan aturan-aturan yang sangat
kompleks, dan juga biasanya basketball adalah permainan indoor yang
lapangan basketnya harus memakai atap.
Streetball
berlawanan dengan reguler basketball. Streetball mencoba seorang pemain
menjadi kreatif dan mendobrak aturan-aturan yang ada, tetapi masih
mengikuti aturan permainan basketball yang mendasar seperti out, foul, dan sebagainya.
Streetball juga terkenal dengan olahraga outdoor,
tidak perlu atap untuk dapat bermain bolabasket sehingga bisa bermain
dan memainkannya di mana saja. Bisa di jalanan, di garasi mobil, atau di
lapangan yang ring basketnya hanya satu, sehingga membuat orang tidak
hanya berfikir bahwa bermain basket harus satu lapangan lengkap dan
orang yang baru bermain basket. Streetball cukup dengan satu ring
basket, dan para pemain bisa memodifikasi sehingga lahirlah istilah
permainan 3 on 3.
Tanpa
kecintaan dan menghayati pemainan, streetball tidak ada artinya.
Kembali lagi pada setiap individu masing-masing apakah mau menjalaninya
atau tidak. Karena itu, streetball adalah sebuah kebebasan yang tidak
mengikat,
Satu
alasan mengapa streetball itu sangat kuat di dalam dan di luar
lapangan, karena semua pemain ataupun penontonnya datang dengan satu
visi, yaitu mencintai permainan ini. Ia tidak memandang tua, muda,
laki-laki, perampuan, kecil, besar, kulit putihh, hitam, pendek, atau
tinggi. Mereka datang dari budaya dan komunitas yang berbeda, tetapi
ketika masuk dalam suatu permainan streetball, SEMUANYA SAMA!!!!!!
