33 the Best Game you never heard of.. from Mike Atkinson on Vimeo.

IT is official we are going to start posting some Live “33” footage some of our best shots.

Now accepting all video responses follow link:

Reno, NV circa 1994-

Imagine 4 young boys 5th-6th graders playing the old game of “tip it” dunking on each other like a young SHAQ or MJ on a 7ft rim. The game “Tip it” objective is that each player must catch the ball while in the air and then shoot it before landing. The only issue with “tip it” is that there is no defense….

Well that was the start and the creation of the game that is now “33”.

Invented in Reno, NV by a group of young athletic kids with creativity. I have brought back the game to play with all the athletes Elite Pro works with. I guarantee that once you play you will see why NBA players are using this to warm-up and let loose and why every age group and skill level can play.
