Begin: March 31, 2008. Hyperdunk. Do Not Try This At Home.

Fast forward: Present Day. Your chance to win.

Then the game begins. Winners - and one of their friends - become VIP guests of Nike Basketball's takeover of Staples Center on Thursday, May 13, 2010. (Please see the official contest rules.)

From check-in through the finishing touches, guests will have purple carpet opportunities for a customized, interactive Aston Martin-Kobe Bryant crossover experience. As a special treat, a limited edition Aston Martin Kobe Bryant BB10 Jacket will also be available for purchase.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to benefit LAUSD Basketball Programs as part of Nike Basketball's commitment to Save Basketball in LA.

The Los Angeles Unified School District recently reported a shortage of funds for the city's sports programs. To help empower basketball in Los Angeles, Nike is on a mission to raise $256K to save high school sports programs.
