He also explained that “at the tournament in February, I had a few teams from Linden, while some players from Linden made up teams in Georgetown. Two teams from Linden played in the finals. So there’s certainly a buzz for basketball still in Linden.”

Meanwhile, with the event also forming part of Linden’s celebration of 52 years since becoming a Town, Toney said “on the entertainment side, most of Guyana’s top DJs and a few surprise local and Regional artistes will be performing. So it’s not just basketball, but a party. Linden is known for sports and entertainment so it is only right that my event brings the two together. 3X3 basketball is actually where sports meets entertainment, where the music never stops.”
As relates to the choice of venue, it was stated that “for years, the basketball court in Richmond Hill has been the best facility in Linden. Sadly, as it stands, it is the only facility that is pristine in shape to host a premium basketball event. But also, the ambiance at Kashif’s residence is ideal for what the 3X3 in Linden will be.”
The tournament will officially be launched next week, where sponsors and other details will be announced.
