No one has influenced the Los Angeles basketball scene as much as “Tiny” Edmond Lee Flournoy. In 1984 he created LA’s #1 training program, the KNE Bulls, and has transformed legions of neighborhood ballers into world-class champions. His secret: develop strong fundamentals and an even stronger defense.

What does it take to beat the best? Speed. Power. Agility. Reaction. Quickness. Over a six week period the Nike SPARQ Team Challenge is visiting 35 LA high schools to see if their best players have what it takes to rule the west coast courts. Student-athletes will be put through a rigorous series of tests scientifically developed to evaluate every element of their game. Their strong points will be rewarded and their weaknesses will be exposed. In the end, all players will be SPARQ rated, but only one will be named the champion.
