The quartet; Akeem ‘the Dream’ Kanhai, Ryan Stephney, Jermaine Slatter and Ryan Gullen, can safely say that they are truly the ‘king of the Rim’ after picking up their second Nation-wide 3X3 basketball title on Friday evening at California Square (East Ruimveldt Basketball Court).

Pitbulls picked up the Mackeson ‘King of the Rim’ 3X3 basketball title and the tournament’s $500,000 first prize to add to the $1M won in 2013 when they defeated Pacesetters ‘A’ in the finals, 17 – 15 in front of a vocal crowd at the venue.

Stephan Gillis, Royston Siland, Travis Burnette and Naylon Loncke made up Pacesetters ‘A’ and only have themselves to blame for the lost.

The two sides were deadlocked at 14 points apiece and were in the penalty (allotted number of fouls) when Stephney would score the remaining baskets.

Pacesetters ‘A’ in the early stages of the game went on scoring rampage and were up by as many as five points until the Ravens and National point Guard Stephney decided to take things into his own hands.

Pacesetters will now settle for the second place prize of $300,000 and the respective zone winners will receive $25,000.
