It is the sixth time that the illustrious event has been staged at this venue in Britain’s second city, a hotbed for basketball, since the turn of the century. In the embryonic days of professional basketball in the UK, the late 80s and early 90s, the event was staged at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) on three occasions.

The event also features a host of other entertainment over the weekend including the world reknown Crazy Dunkers from France, BBL Babes, mascots, and much more. They will keep the crowds on their toes in between the biggest games of the basketball season.
