New York, NY – For the past several years, Hunter College has played host to one of the premiere basketball summer leagues on the east coast, the Nike Pro City League. A sanctioned NCAA summer league, basketball players from all walks of life including current and former NBA players, college standouts, “local playground legends” and the occasional hip hop star, convene at the Hunter Sportsplex to compete in the league that runs from the second week in June until the second week in August.

The Nike Pro City League brings the pro game and pro players such as Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks, Marcus Williams of the New Jersey Nets, and hometown product Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings, without the ticket prices as admission is free. During nine weeks in the summer months, fans pack into the Hunter Sportsplex to watch some of the best basketball action available in New York City.

Be sure to check out the Nike Pro City League every Tuesday and Thursday until August 7 with games played at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the Hunter Sportsplex located at the intersection of 68th Street and Lexington Avenue.
