More about Middle East Street Basketball Project
GAM3 (pronounced “GAM3 (pronounced “game”) is the quintessence of street culture. With base in Denmark, Scandinavia, and organized as a non-profit organization the program is a fusion of street basketball, urban culture and an effort to integrate minority youth in society. Spelled with a backwards ‘E’ – which alludes to its 3-on-3 tournament format and also lends the project an air of urban hipness – GAM3 has since its founding in 2002 reached more than 38,000 participant show ups in Denmark and the Middle East.
Towards the end of the summer the activities culminate with the GAM3 Finals which consist of a major street basketball tournament in the heart of Copenhagen featuring professional basketball players, a Slam Dunk Contest, a 7-2-smoke Break Dance Battle and renowned hip hop DJs and rappers from around the world. The outdoor tournament is Scandinavia’s largest with more than 100 participating teams.
