Colonels are rockin'
October 21, 2004 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Kentucky Retros News Release
Louisville, KY. Tree Rollins, GM of the ABA Kentucky Colonels professional basketball team today announced that National Hip Hop artist Jermaine Dupri will serve as the team's 11th man at the first home game, Thanksgiving Night, Thursday, November 25th. And, Jermaine will also host a So So Def post-game after party for the fans. To top it off, BET's Madd Sports will be on hand to tape the show. It will be a great night!
According to Rollins, "If you are not familiar with the ABA's 11th man, Jermaine will actually suit up, warm-up with the team, and be eligible to play and might even get in the game. It's an exciting new rule that makes the game great fun. At halftime, he'll take some shots with fans too."
Rollins added, "This should insure a sellout for this game, so I would suggest you get your tickets early. It's just the beginning of a season long list of special entertainment - and you haven't seen anything yet. We've only just begun."
