It was a rainy day!

Lauantaina oli sateista, minkä takia pelaajia oli vähän. Haasteellinen sää ei kuitenkaan hidastanut menoa. Jälleen nautittiin musiikista ja koripallosta täysin sieluin. Kentällä nähtiin hyviä pelejä ja hienoja donkkeja.

New day, new beginning

On Wednesday, the midnight basketball had an event, where the participants from the Tall Ship races came to play basketball, volleyball and mölkky. The ships arrived in Helsinki on the 17th of July and are scheduled to leave on the 20th July.

Our sincere condolences to the Dutch Wylde Swan for the loss of Koen van Gogh. We send out our prayers to all of the crew and the van Gogh family.

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

Hey guys, Here's some pictures of this Friday's games. The weather was hot so the player's were sweating a lot. I got to interview some ppl for the NMKY (YMCA) magazine. If you'd like to tell your story and how Midnight street basketball has affected you, find me on the court. 

"But if you only have love for your OWN RACE,

then you only leave space to DISCRIMINATE,

and to discriminate only generates hate,

then you're bound to get IRATE, yeah

MADNESS is what you demonstrate,

and that's exactly how anger works and operates,

Man, 

you gotta have love just to set it STRAIGHT."

- The Black Eyed Peas

Hey guys!

Here's some pictures of Thursday's Midnight basketball. The sun was shining and the music was great! Everybody was enjoying their evening.

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

Yeah!

Uusi ilta yökoriksessa ja tunnelma katossa! Keskiviikkona pidettiin hauskaa kori- ja jalkapallon merkeissä. Sääkin suosi pelaajia, joten illasta tuli mahtava. Uusia pelaajia näkyi kentillä Hietaniemessä ja Sanomatalon vieressä.
