The Hardwood Classic Celebrity Charity Basketball Game: Where Hoops and Culture Collide

When the urban community comes together for a cause, you can bet it’s going to be an unforgettable experience—and that’s exactly what happened at The Hardwood Classic Celebrity Charity Basketball Game, presented by J Smoke ( Radio Personality, Streetz 94.5) (Listen Live 10am-2pm),  and Council Woman Helen Willis. From the high-stakes coaching rivalry between Alexia Adams AKA Big Lex (also known for “The Reality Table” podcast) and the hitmaker Yung Joc, to the surprise giveaways and star-studded appearances, this event was more than just basketball—it was a celebration of culture, unity, and giving back.

Big Lex vs. Yung Joc: The Battle on the Bench

In what felt like a real-life sports drama, Big Lex and Yung Joc went toe-to-toe as rival coaches, energizing the crowd with every play they called. Ultimately, Yung Joc took home the win, but the real victory belonged to the community that came out to support this incredible charity game. The competition was fierce, the players were on fire, and the energy in the Welcome All Gymnasium was off the charts from tipoff to the final buzzer.

Star Power All Around

 

If you thought the celebrity lineup stopped at Big Lex and Yung Joc, think again! The event drew in former UGA Basketball Star Kenny Gaines, actors like Julian Horton (Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black),  Myles Truitt (BMF, Stranger Things, Atlanta ) and Denzell Dandridge (Tubi’s The Dirty D). You could feel the excitement in the air as fans got a chance to mingle, snap selfies, and celebrate the cause together. And if that wasn’t enough, local artists took the stage for live music performances that kept the crowd hyped all day long.

This wasn’t just a basketball game; it was a full-blown community festival. From food trucks dishing out mouthwatering eats to live DJs spinning the hottest tracks, everyone had something to enjoy. The halftime show took “giving back” to the next level:

  • Free Daycare Giveaway: Supporting families in a meaningful way.
  • Shoe Giveaway: Ensuring no one walks away empty-handed.
  • Free Haircuts: Because looking fresh is a must, and everyone deserves that confidence boost.

 

 

It was truly a day of giving as the crowd enjoyed the best in entertainment and community outreach from 12 PM to 6 PM at the Welcome All Gymnasium.
