For the last few years, Hard Knock TV and The Smoking Section have teamed up for the HoopXHang 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament at SXSW. This year, Ecko Unltd. was in the building to compete, and though we weren’t able to win it all (better believe we’re coming for that spot next year), we did get a couple W’s and some great footage along the way.

The story of the day was Trinidad James, who put his skills on display—taking the ball to the cup and knocking down long-range jumpers, as well as a game-winner—en route to leading his team to the championship.

Other participants included rappers Dizzy Wright, Problem, Clyde Carson, Killa Kyleon, YP, PUSH! and more.
