matt caputo wrote a great piece about this summer’s best nyc tournament and player …

It would be hard to do a story about Kingdome this summer without mentioning the tournament’s most popular player.

Corey “Homicide” Williams doesn’t play in the NBA. Aside from that, he’s the most well-known player to come down to Kingdome this summer. Even with cameos from Damon Dash and rumors that Ron Artest and David Lee would be uptown this summer, Homicide (who SLAM readers may remember from last year’s issue of Streetball) is by far the star of the league. After picking up a D-League title with the Dakota Wizards this spring, he is once again poised to attempt to make an NBA roster…

here is what went down with team k1x this weekend. not that much actually. k1x was scheduled to play at orchard beach (hoops in the sun) versus first place DDN/Sean Bell All-Stars, and looking forward to the challenge. DDN was looking to keep up the the momentum after winning Quai 54 in France and beating local powerhouse Dominican Power by 30 points last Friday. Unfortunately, the game never happened because DDN didn’t show up until after 5pm, though the game had been scheduled for 4pm! after an hour of waiting around, team k1x took off and the game was called and a win for the good guys, who are now 3:1 at “hits”.

The next game at the beach will be on july 21st (noon) when K1X takes on Court Masters who feature Mike “Optimus Prime” Glover.

The next Kingdome game will be this Sunday (july 15th 6:30 pm) versus S&S. K1x, looking to stay undefeated in harlem, will go to battle without key players Homicide and Corey “The Undertaker” UNderwood, who are both playing in the NBA Summer League.

here is a short wrap-up of what went down, brought to you first hand, by k1x team manager cee vee:

On Saturday team k1x was at the Kingdome vs. team crossover. The only marquee player that they featured was “JFK”. A slashing high riser with unlimited hops. He had some nice highlights during the pre-game warm-ups, but none in the game. With the K1X Godfather (C. Grosse) in attendance team K1X was able to pull of a 12 point victory. The game started off slow and resembled a pistons-spurs playoff game. Team k1x trailed by 8 points early on but was able to cut the deficit to one point by the end of the first half (28 - 29).
K1X started the second half with some intense lock-down defense and regained the lead and control of the game. Homicide was his usual self with 21 pts and couple of sick crossovers. Cory “undertaker” Underwood chipped in with a double double (12 & 11). The key to the second half run was the hustle and defense of Jared Frye and Kason Mims who Chris Grosse called a “mad dog” on defense. K1X is now 2-0 and will have its first big test of the season this Friday, July 6th when they face S & S, which features the best veteran big man in the city John “The Franchise” Strickland as well as guard “World Premier” and UCONN player Curtis Kelly. don’ t miss it - at kingdome this friday!

On Sunday team K1X was at the beach for Hoops In The Sun. K1x took on Back 2 Basics which featured NBA Guard Allan Ray (Boston Celtics). What was supposed to be a day off for Homicide became one of the stories that continues to make the Homicide Legend grow out of control. I called Homi myself and he was at the beach within 10 minutes for the NBA match-up. That was bad news for Allan Ray. To make a long story short at the end of the first half Homicide had 20 points and Allan Ray had 5 fouls. To make things even worse, in an unheard act of sucker-ness, Allan Ray quit and got dressed and left the park!!! Homicide has killed NBA guys before before, but none has ever quit at halftime!! K1x Cruised to an easy victory and are now 2-1 in the league. Homi finished with 39 pts, 7 dimes, 5 rbs and 5 steals. Undertaker had 21 and 9 to go along with 4 blocks. Jared Frye chipped in with 15 pts 7 rbs. the next game at hoops in the sun will be vs. DDN/Sean Bell All-Stars who feature BJ “the Beast” McFarland. Sunday July 8th 4pm.
