Jam Sports Productions presented their annual "Gridiron Celebrity Hoops" to the San Francisco community at Archbishop Riordan High School. The all-star celebrity charity event marked the 18th year game took place during Super Bowl weekend. Each year, Jam Sports Productions produces Gridiron Celebrity Hoops in the NFL's Super Bowl host city. Former NFL player and longtime Gridiron supporter Terrell Owens, singer Tank, model Don Benjamin, rapper Sage The Gemini and a sea of others volunteered their time for the charity game.
The event was nothing less than a good time and with positive energy. Filled with lots of laugh, team NFC and AFC brought their "A game," putting on one heck of a game leading into overtime. This year's Gridiron Celebrity Hoops was hosted by actor Kente Scott and featured super dance performances from social media star Leon Akida best known as Kid The Great as well as the L.Y.E Academy Dancers. Additional players included artist/songwriter J. Valentine, Brandon Armstrong aka BDotadot5 the NBA Impersonator, and pro ballers Tammy Brawner & Kenny Dobbs. The Gridiron Celebrity Hoops game benefits Juli's Kids Motivated To Succeed, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the quality of life of today’s abused, abandoned, neglected, and homeless youths who have been placed in the foster care system founded by Juli Jordan.
Past participants and supporters of the Gridiron game include Nick Cannon, Ne-Yo, Hines Ward, Floyd Mayweather, Dez Bryant, Amber Rose, Chris Brown, Kyla Pratt and many more. See pics from this year's game below.
