ALXN ARENA ... plays host to Sunday afternoon pickup games in the months leading up to The Funk-Mob. Tip-offs are at 6:30pm,weather permitting, and you can often find the likes of "Big Silky", "C-Ro Fizer", "The Specialist", "The Lazer", and many more Street Wizards showcasing Mobulicious flavor, as T.ONE aka Captain McMudnight spins wax and stirs drinks. Celebrity locals and papparazzi (including The Great Guma Nelson from Jacksonville) tend to pop up from time to time, whether it be live or via satellite just to get the early season scouting reports. Nevertheless, if you are in the area, and got your Weapons (old school Bird Shoes, not guns) or your new Icey-White Lebron's, lace 'em up tight and stop by early,,, cuz once crowds escalate, it may be tough getting on the court at "The ARENA" -Home of the Cuban Giants!
