TOKYO BALLERS
Directed by Oyl Miller. Edited by Oyl Miller. 2011.

The Tokyo streetball community is a small but thriving scene. Every August, Japanese and international ballers unite to play in the 32-team All Day tournament at Yoyogi Court. The players deliver the action, the DJs keep the beat and the crowd of hoop fans are damn entertained.
