Make sure to keep your TV's tuned to ESPN2 on Tuesday, September 11th, at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST and Wednesday, September 12th at 11:30 AM PST/2:30 PM EST to check out the 2007 AND1 Mix Tape Tour finale. The all-stars from the previous markets came out to play for the last time against the AND1 players in Long Beach, CA at the Queen Mary.
Representing Detroit, Rob Brown aka "Wolverine" was the winner of the $25,000 check from Old Spice and the 2007 AND1 contract. Wolverine caught the eye of some of the AND1 players as they made their way through to Detroit at the end of July. He also made a strong statement in the final game at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA last Saturday. To check out pictures and video from that game,

In Chicago, Dallas and Oakland – Big Mike, Escalade and Bad Santa selected the winning player from that city immediately after each game. The players had to be selected in this manner because those episodes of the ESPN show don’t air until the week of the final game or the following week.
