Even if the Golden State Warriors close out the NBA Finals tonight, earning their second NBA championship in past three years, the basketball fun is just set to get started in Monterey.
To celebrate the newly completed renovation of Montecito Park, which includes a brand new basketball court, the city is hosting 3-point shooting contest open to people of all ages (ages 18 and under must be accompanied an adult).
Prizes include a signed jersey from Golden State Warrior Kevon Looney and a basketball signed by his teammate Draymond Green.
The deadline to register is noon on June 14.
Two separate qualifying rounds—entrants choose which date to participate in—will be held June 19 at 3:30pm and June 21 at 6pm.
The three top scorers will then go on to compete in the finals on July 15 at 1pm, an event that will dovetail with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new court.
