Pigalle x BKRW Basketball Tournament in Paris

Pigalle x BKRW Bball Tournament: This is probably the post with the most pictures ever in HS history, but it’s just hard to describe what we experienced last weekend in Paris.

Steph and the PainOchoKolat Crew, Jay from BKRW organized their annual Bball tournament in their barrio Pigalle with the kind support of Jessica from Nike.

We took part with a BBB team and the moral support of Bianca and Hadi (THANK YOU, girls!). This was serious shit! Bball on a good level. We made it to the finals against the Pigalle team. We lost. They deserved it. It was their homecourt. Their crowd. Their day.

CONGRATZ to Steph, Nordine, Paul Paul and Yannick!! And THANKS for hosting us like La Famille!!

Jay, Nyno, Mehdi, Massaer, Ylva and Alice (playa-paya aka chicken-chicken) you’re the best and made this road trip “inoubliable” to us!
