Streetball all-stars to take on Bermuda

Two women basketball players will get a chance to attend a Women’s National Basketball Association training camp.

The pair will be chosen during the Bermuda Gas All-star Weekend over this Friday and Saturday.

The two Bermuda players will head to Phoenix on May 19 to experience the WNBA training camp.

Temeka Johnson, starting point guard for the Phoenix Mercury, who will be here for the all-star festivities, said: “Everyone knows that I’m all about providing hope to others, and this is an extension of that.

“This is a great opportunity to show others how difficult a road we have to travel to reach our goals. I’m proud to help empower other young women.”

Johnson will also lead a free skills clinic on Saturday from 9:30am to 11:30am at the Berkeley gym.

Later that day there will be a celebrity basketball game starting at 7pm.

Following that a 15-minute ceremony will be held to give out some legends awards with the SKY streetballers taking on the Bermuda All-stars at 8:30pm.
