LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Apr 9, 2003--Street basketball legend Larry ''Bone Collector'' Williams, who stars in the DVD ''Entertainer`s Basketball Classic At Rucker Park: The Second Season,'' has challenged two of the NBA`s greatest players -- Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and Philadelphia 76er Allen Iverson -- to individual $50,000 winner-take-all games of one-on-one basketball, with the loser giving his money to the winner`s favorite charity.
During a lengthy recent interview on Fox Sports` ''Best Damn Sports Show Period,'' Bone Collector threw down his challenge to Iverson. He followed up with a combustible Q&A; on one of the country`s biggest hip-hop stations, L.A.`s Power 106, where he made his offer to Bryant. Bryant and Iverson, along with numerous other NBA stars, are featured on ''Entertainer`s Basketball Classic'' (released March 4 on MELEE Entertainment), which also boasts the best street basketball players in the world.
Street ball has gained national exposure over the past few years, but a challenge like this has never been laid down. The question is: Will Kobe and Allen dodge perhaps the greatest street player out there, or will they rise to the challenge?
