The Rabo Streetball Tour 2008 has ended. On Saturday June 28th 60 teams played for the desirable Dutch national title Streetball. During the whole day a lot of people visited the event on the Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam. Not only to encourage their favourite team, but also to watch fantastic shows. In spite of a little bit of rain at the start, the tournament went well. For a great part caused by the positive vibe from the teams. In all the categories the teams struggled great, with a lot of exciting games as a result. There were more draws during the final day, then during all the qualifying rounds together. The 3-on-3 games were played on the 6 half court fields and on the center court were other activities. There were shows from world class sports entertainer Tommy Baker, Dutch pride Luv4daGame en the Li-Ning dance team. At the end of the day the finals of the Li-Ning 3-point-shoot-out, the Rabo Skillz Challenge and the Rabo Dunk Contest took place. Concluding: an excellent day for Dutch basketball.
