We hear about College basketball players and NBA basketball players all the time. But there is nothing like a streetball player moving as free as a bird. I'm talking about Hot Sauce Philip Champion. You know the guy that played in the movie Crossover. In January 2009, it was announced that Champion had signed with the College Park Spyders of the present American Basketball Association. He also played on the Streetball And1 Mixtape Tour from it's creation of 2002.

At first, nobody knew who Philip Champion was, and then wen he started doing his thing in basketball, people started going crazy for him in Cali for the very first game. I watched Hot Sauce Philip on an And1 basketball video, and it's true what they say about him. It's like the basketball is attached to his hand. Hot Sauce lets the basketball move like it's getting away from him, but he brings it back to himself like it's a Yo-Yo.

Hot Sauce has a lot of fast and crazy moves. He can circle around you, and when you think he's going in one direction, he goes in another direction. All those moves make's it very hard to get the ball. Hot Sauce is constantly bouncing the ball between his legs and making the ball bounce off of you. You can't win, and you can't steal the ball. With all that time wasted watching him bounce the ball, he finally shoots the ball and makes the shot. Hot sauce once said, "Like Jordan!"

I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to Streetball.
