Nike SPARQ Training music: alan stayton Brooklyn, New York City, where they paint murals of Biggie… a la Talib Kweli rapper and Brooklyn native. No, I'm not here to talk about the current state of affairs in Hip Hop, except that the realness is making a quick comeback and it's happening in Brooklyn. Also happening in Brooklyn is the Nike SPARQ Team Challenge SPARQ Testing of the women's and men's teams of the Brooklyn Knights F.C. Mother Nature is spitting straight fire this week (so is Queens Borough Nas on his latest mix-tape), and luckily for us SPARQ road dogs our events the past two days have begun at 7 pm. All I gotta say is despite the torturous heat these Brooklyn Knights came with the tenacity to excel at every athletic test we threw at them.
