00:00 Growing up it was always basketball no matter what.
00:03 It was ball is life before it was NBA with us.
00:06 So for me to actually be here and to be wearing ball is life gear, that means everything.
00:12 You always got your name on the line, your pride more than anything.
00:18 So going out there, like you can't let nobody get one up on you.
00:23 I know that when people see me they're probably going to underestimate me.
00:26 Just trying to prove those people wrong and proving that I can belong in any court in
00:29 the world is something to me.
00:33 I went from having almost all of Pac-12 to losing every single offer that I had.
00:38 You know a lot of people didn't believe that I could come back the same or even come back
00:42 better.
00:43 I'm just trying to prove that I'm one of the best hoopers wherever I go because I put in
00:48 the work to be that.
00:50 We've set out to find the next hooper looking to achieve their dreams.
01:09 Eight hoopers looking to be put on Battle It Out to show their skills, talent and personality.
01:16 They will be competing against each other in a series of 1v1s, 3v3s and 5v5s.
01:23 In season 2 we wanted to spice things up.
01:26 The Ball Is Life panel went out, scouted and recruited 6 of the contestants.
01:31 Only the final 2 slots were selected through online submissions.
01:35 Hey, what's wrong with me?
01:38 Ty, come on.
01:39 Just give me a minute.

04:47 He ain't gonna be able to guard nobody.
04:48 He ain't gonna be able to guard nobody.

04:59 All right, all right.
05:00 We're wasting time.
05:01 We're not wasting time.
05:02 Realistically, we can't do it.
05:03 So, you gotta drop a few points or something?
05:04 No, we're taking this serious, dude.
05:05 Okay, really?
05:06 It's your boy, Will Leviton.
05:07 I'm from the small state, Providence, Rhode Island.
05:08 I'm a 5'10" guy.
05:09 I'm scrappy.
05:10 I got some hair, dude.
05:11 I can shoot.
05:12 I'm just willing to take down anybody that's in front of me.

05:14 Oh, shoot.
05:15 Oh, shoot.
05:16 Oh, shoot.
05:37 Oh, shoot.

06:03 He ain't gonna lose a five-tent.
06:05 He look little.
06:07 You can't lose a five-tent, right?
06:09 You're not.
06:11 I just had to ask him.
06:13 He lost when he said five-tent.
06:15 Yeah, he lost when he said five-tent.
06:17 He got five-tent.
06:19 - He got a good little pace, though.
06:21 - Look at how much pace they're getting.
06:23 - He got a good pace, but I don't know if he can guard.
06:25 - That's tough, though.
06:27 - Bring him, though.
06:29 - I like it, though.
06:31 - He got a good little pace, though.

06:41 - That's a hook.
06:43 - That's tough.
06:45 - I'm eating all that up, too.
06:47 - He got a little game, though.
06:49 - He got some game.
06:51 - He was cool.
06:53 I don't know if he's...
06:55 - He's under-sized.
06:57 - If he would have submitted this season one
06:59 the first time, he would have made it.
07:01 - Brian Sanchez.
07:03 - Sanchez.
07:05 - Brian Sanchez.
07:07 I'm a 63 shooter from Long Island, New York.
07:09 I've been playing basketball my whole life.

07:15 - Wait!
07:17 You heard him?
07:19 I've been playing basketball my whole life.
07:21 I played varsity basketball.
07:23 [laughter]
07:25 - I didn't even think we had to
07:27 specify what it was.
07:29 - When you say high school basketball,
07:31 it better be varsity.
07:33 - Next, next, next.
07:35 - Ooh!
07:37 - Ooh!
07:39 - He didn't say that to me.
07:41 - Oh, hell no.

08:03 - That's crazy.
08:05 - He got green beans.
08:07 - He's not the only one with that green bean, dude.
08:09 - He got nowhere near enough.
08:11 You ain't getting no shots off him right now.
08:13 - Nah, we gonna skip on him, too.
08:15 - Yeah, we gonna pass him.
08:17 - His name's Johnny Toupon.
08:19 - That's a new one.
08:21 - I love a good mid-range.
08:23 - I like that.
08:25 - 96-1.
08:27 - Oh, shit.
08:29 - Next, next, next.
08:31 - That first appearance
08:33 meant a lot.
08:35 That first appearance
08:37 meant a lot.
08:39 He lost credibility in three seconds.
08:41 - He is the best hooper/rapper out, man.
08:43 - I knew he was a rapper.
08:45 - I don't know why
08:47 they got him crunched out like that.
08:49 We need to get that together.
08:51 - He talking about us and our table?
08:53 - Oh, me.
08:55 - Oh, he called you out again?
08:57 - No.
08:59 - You heard him?

09:23 - Ballers Life Squad.
09:25 - First of all, you're all food sitting at that little ass table.
09:27 I don't know why they got you crunched out like that.
09:29 They need to get that together.
09:31 The one I'm hearing, they're telling me Nas is a big guard.
09:33 To me, you're a child, bro.
09:35 You're a baby, a gerber.
09:37 A kid, man. A stepkid at that.
09:39 - A stepkid?
09:41 - Yeah, bro.
09:43 - I'm calling out Nas.
09:45 Tell him he's a big guard. He's not big to me.
09:47 He's shit big to me. You're all chicken tenders.
09:49 - Chicken tendies.
09:51 - J-Law.
09:53 - Come here, J-Law.
09:55 - Nah.
09:57 - That shit not going in smooth enough.
09:59 - That's an old J-Law, too.
10:01 - He might be all right now.
10:03 - Double in and out.
10:05 - He might be all right.
10:07 - I'm not saying he fucking cute.
10:09 - I feel like he used to be.
10:11 - He was smaller right there.
10:13 He's smaller right there in that clip.
10:15 - Yeah, he's smaller. He's not moving like that.
10:17 - That was a runaway. I like that.
10:19 - Oh, shit.
10:21 - I thought that was ninja, right?
10:23 - We would have to firmly decline.
10:25 - Yeah, he got a...
10:27 Like we can't afford a bigger table or something.
10:29 You feel me? Like...
10:31 Money good.
10:33 That's fucked up.
10:35 Hey, AK, get us a bigger table, bro.
10:37 - All right.
10:39 - We got a table, bro.
10:41 - We can't.
10:43 - Let me get my elbow over here.
10:45 - Next, man.
10:47 - Good joke. You're funny and all that.

11:05 - That's what I'm going to call it.
11:07 - Ball sack is crazy.
11:09 - That's disrespectful.
11:11 - Ball sack is crazy.
11:13 - He's not here. He's not really here.
11:15 He ain't really here.
11:17 - Ball sack is crazy.
11:19 - I'm hooping these motherfucking
11:21 running shoes.
11:23 - Hey, no.
11:25 Hey, real quick. We're going to be quick
11:27 on the last one.
11:29 You took 20 minutes to tell us
11:31 that you're sorry.
11:33 - Let's go to Bill...
11:35 - Ball sack.
11:37 - Bill Sack 6'8" probably.

11:41 - I'm probably about 6'8".
11:43 - Oh!
11:45 - My name is Bill Ding.
11:47 My G handle is @billsack.
11:49 Some of y'all might recognize me.
11:51 - Yo.
11:53 - Yo.
11:55 - That's my man, Bill.

12:27 - Bill!
12:29 - My name is Bill Ding. My IG handle is @billsack.
12:31 Some of y'all might recognize me
12:33 from that legendary park takeover
12:35 a couple years ago.
12:37 I want to introduce myself to Mr. Frank Needy
12:39 and the Whole Ball is Life West Coast squad.
12:41 Shooter's shoot.
12:43 I just needed one shot to go in.
12:45 After that one shot went in, I was feeling unstoppable.
12:47 Frank, on the other hand,
12:49 he was looking a little lost in the court.
12:51 So Frank, I hope you're ready for that rematch
12:53 because I'm coming, baby,
12:55 and the whole world's going to see.
12:57 - Do I lose?
12:59 - Wow!
13:01 - The footage!
13:03 - He got a nice little back cover.
13:05 - Who's guarding him?
13:07 - Who's guarding him?
13:09 - Who's guarding him?
13:11 - Frank.
13:13 - Whoo!

13:33 - Oh, no.
13:37 - Oh, he switched.

14:01 He better not.
14:03 He better not.
14:05 Y'all had a trap?
14:07 Oh!
14:09 - I didn't call that.
14:11 - They thought you needed help.
14:13 They thought you needed help.
14:15 - Good shit, Bill.
14:21 - Salute to you, Bill.
14:23 - All right, Bill, the only thing I'm going to say is
14:25 you're just a little undecided
14:27 on what's going on right here.
14:29 - That one-on-one different.
14:31 - Shout-out, Bill.
14:33 - Shout-out to Bill.

14:41 - All of Ballas Life knows who you is, man.
14:43 - We know you.
14:45 - Hey, if they don't miss you, I'll put Bill's @ right here.
14:47 - And go follow that.
14:49 - @billsack, what does it say?
14:51 - All of them are wannabe NBA all-stars
14:53 when none of them even had a chance in the first place.
14:55 You got Frank Nitti, who sounds like a freaking swimmer.
14:57 You got Nas Williamson,
14:59 who's on that Zion diet.

18:37 So I'm ready to showcase everybody in my game on the court.
18:39 - I like it. I like it.

24:29 On the white squad, we got Ray Jean,
24:31 we got Anthony U, Trey Croft,
24:33 and we got Bird.
24:35 All right, let's get this going, y'all.
24:37 [dramatic music]
24:40 ♪ ♪
24:43 - Y'all might remember Ray Jean from season one.
24:45 Well, we brought him back
24:47 as an official contestant for season two.
24:49 - Mm-hmm, it's me.
24:51 Like, you know what I mean?
24:53 What y'all want me to say is me. Y'all know who it is.
24:55 Say, now, it's Ray Jean Knight, of course.
24:57 The one and only chicken back in Philly.
24:59 Born and raised. Honestly, I feel like
25:01 a full circle moment. Last time coming down,
25:03 it was just--I was just happy to be here
25:05 just to be happy to be here, and then
25:07 little bro was playing, and I got--had Scar
25:09 and Jive down here with me, but now it's like
25:11 it's just me, so it kind of feels
25:13 like a little more lonely,
25:15 but I feel like I'm in
25:17 a better position 'cause now I'm in
25:19 a position where I'm not, like--
25:21 I'm an actual contestant, an actual participant,
25:23 so my game--you ever see, like--
25:25 you know KD.
25:27 Imagine, like, KD, Steph,
25:29 Bron, like, Giannis.
25:31 Imagine all of them in one player, you feel me?
25:33 It's like too much.
25:35 I really got everything, though, so
25:37 it's really a lot. It's a lot to deal with.
25:39 That's why I'm better off when I'm just talking
25:41 trash, you feel me? 'Cause when you gotta see me on the court,
25:43 it's like, "Whoa." Like, you would rather just have me
25:45 talking trash, you know what I'm saying?
25:47 Last season was fun. Last season was like--that was one of
25:49 them experiences, like, you coming into it not knowing
25:51 what to expect. I ain't wanna leave.
25:53 I feel like this season, I kind of expect
25:55 and, like, I'm knowing a little bit more, so I can
25:57 come into it a little bit more
25:59 prepared, I wanna say. Balls of Life--
26:01 it was Balls of Life before it was NBA with us.
26:03 Like, me, T. Knight, my little brother,
26:05 Jive, like, we was just watching
26:07 Balls of Life, like, that was the first thing
26:09 we used to come up watching. After school,
26:11 come home, watch Balls of Life mixtapes,
26:13 watch Aquil Car, watch
26:15 7th Woods, stuff like that. That was--
26:17 that was the NBA before the NBA to us.
26:19 For me to actually be here and to be
26:21 wearing Balls of Life gear,
26:23 that means everything.
26:25 I feel like coming out of high school, after
26:27 high school, I reached a point where basketball
26:29 was just like, it is what it is.
26:31 Like, I'm not trying to go to the NBA no more. I'm not
26:33 trying to go play for Duke no more. It was just
26:35 like, wherever I find my fun in it,
26:37 that's where I find my fun in it. So, last
26:39 season, I was just coming here with the mindset
26:41 just make the best of it and enjoy it. Like, I'm here
26:43 for four days, like, let's have the best four days
26:45 you can have, you feel me? Now, I'm
26:47 coming with the mindset to kill.
26:49 So, it's like,
26:51 so when the guys walk in the house, like,
26:53 if they look at me, I'm killing.
26:55 My name Angel Hammer. I'm from
26:57 Simi Valley. I've been playing
26:59 ball since I was six years old.
27:01 I've been playing club all throughout,
27:03 you know, until high school.
27:05 I played at Simi Valley High School, and then I played
27:07 JUCO at Moorpark College.
27:09 I think I'm a, I have the basket
27:11 finisher. I really have the, like, speed kills type
27:13 motto with me. Spam the headsie
27:15 a lot. That's my go-to.
27:17 I'm honestly looking at it more for
27:19 fun right now, just to see where I'm at, like
27:21 competitive-wise, but, you know, I heard
27:23 about it and I was like, let's get it.
27:25 Being small, like a small guard on some
27:27 IT sh*t. Isaiah Thomas,
27:29 that's like, kind of, I guess you could say who I
27:31 look up to. Always being small, but
27:33 I don't really mind it, because
27:35 I know, like, no one on the floor can, like, guard me
27:37 in terms of speed, so it's like, once I blow
27:39 by you, it's an easy layup every time.
27:41 Growing up, it was always basketball no matter
27:43 what. It's the Filipino blood,
27:45 but it's nice being Filipino
27:47 in a Hoover, bro. I think I could
27:49 just say I'm blessed having the opportunity, because
27:51 I'm, like, like I said, it's more
27:53 for fun right now. I never really, like,
27:55 after JUCO, I was just, like, playing for fun,
27:57 but I'm gonna see what I can do.
27:59 See if I can turn up for y'all.
28:01 Y'all know what I'm gonna do.
28:11 Y'all know what I'm gonna do.
28:13 Alright, we're gonna get the coin toss, we're gonna let
28:15 Rayjean call a hit.
28:17 There it is. Yo, boy,
