Has anybody else

Has anybody else played in the basketball tournament called Gus Macker? I've played since I was in like, 3rd grade. It's super fun. They close down the streets of the town, and there's tons of basketball courts about the size of of a half court everywhere. It's 3 on 3. Gus Macker travels the country,I guess there's a huge one in Buffalo. So does anyone else play?

I like to play basketball in my backyard with my sisters. I am not on a team, but I took a camp last month. I have not played in the tournament, but I wish the it would come to the Chicago area!

Actually, I've never heard of Gus Macker. I tried basketball in 4th grade and it... didn't work out. I was terrible. The only game we won was the last one, dedicated to a friend who died that year. I've never been on the team again, but I do enjoy a game called Knock Out that uses a basketball...I used to play it all the time at a summer camp I went to.
