"Showdown in Chinatown" - Steve Nash and Claudio Reyna

Wednesday 25 June 2008 - Today was OFF THE CHAIN!!!! We attended "Showdown in Chinatown," and it benefited the Steve Nash Foundation and the Claudio Reyna Foundation. Alongside Nash, the two-time NBA MVP, and Phoenix Suns guard Leandro Barbosa, were former Liverpool greats Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Rob Jones.

Playing with Reyna, Jozy Altidore and Gregg Berhalter were Jason Kidd and Baron Davis and Chelsea's Salomon Kalou, who played for Ivory Coast in a World Cup qualifier Sunday and was a late addition. But the real star of the day was (OUR HOMIE) Barcelona's Thierry Henry, fresh off playing for France in Euro 2008. Before the match even started Henry walked over to hook up with us and got a PANNA (nutmeg) in the process from "Gala Donna". Henry admitted to being scared and not wanting to come over here and get embarrassed. We got our peeps all over big up "Menk"!! It was a really dope event, we had front row seats on the field. There were some nice actions here and their. The NBA players actually got some game. Jason Kid did what he does best (giving out assists) and Barbosa and the other guys also were dope to be non soccer players. There were so many people it was a mad house, people climbing up in the trees and on the fence to see the match. The Vibe was perfect. After the match MOTG even got an exclusive interview with CNN - keep your eyes open. Everyone recognizes the skills of the players. All in all it was a lot of fun and love... check out the video footage that will be on YOUTUBE or MOTG TV real soon. One!
