Biography
An original member of the AND 1 team, Main Event attended high school in Linden, NJ and college at Rutgers University. He also played in the USBL and was in camp with the New Jersey Nets before the 2004-2005 NBA season. Back at Rucker Park in the early '90s "Main" did a 360 degree dunk that stunned the crowd and earned him the name the "Main Event" as he attracted a huge following to Rucker games. In the summer of 1999, before the AND 1 Mix Tape Tour ever existed, Main met some people from AND 1. After discussing the streetball scene he helped bring other streetballers to the AND 1 family including Shane the Dribbling Machine and Half Man Half Amazing and worked with AND 1 to throw the original AND 1 Mix Tape game later that summer at his home court in Linden, NJ. Over a thousand people came out to watch what turned into footage for Mix Tape Vol. 2. "Main" and the guys were signed to endorsement deals that fall and the rest is history.
