Guests were also treated to a sultry performance of “All Eyes On Me” by R&B sensation, Ava Pearl.
“We set out to showcase Ballerz World to some of the leading influencers in the basketball community,” said Kyle E. Cox, co-founder of The New Breed Group. “This event helped us to continue the momentum and grow our fan base to include both professional and amateur players in search of serious competition at their local courts.”
Added NBA player Ryan Hollins, “The app is impressive. It's easy to navigate and has phenomenal features which help players connect with each other. I definitely think it will be a success amongst true ball players.”
