Before you get too excited, let me just preface by saying that the Pre-Showdown brunch is $5,000 per, and the After-Match drinking with Nash and Claudio Reyna requires a minimum $250 donation. If you’re only a high roller in training like me and you’re in Lower Manhattan tomorrow, you should probably consider just going down to the free event. I’ll be the guy snapping pics with the HTC Incredible and scowling at Tony Parker. Here’s the full detail:
NBA stars. Soccer’s best. An urban field. A sweet 8-a-side game of futbol in the middle of a city benefiting children’s programs on three continents.
Steve brings his passion to play in this innovative match that any sports fan will love. Showcasing athletes from two sports, Showdown is the beautiful game at its most creative. With international rosters that have included Steve Nash, Thierry Henry, Claudio Reyna, Tony Parker, Adrian Mutu, Grant Hill, Ivan Cordoba, Baron Davis, Javier Zanetti, Ryan Babel, Salomon Kalou, Simone Sandri, Martin Nash, Mathieu Flamini, Edgar Davids and Chris Bosh the Showdowns are events not to be missed!
The Showdown in Chinatown is a free to the public event located on Chrystie St. and Stanton St. on the lower east side. Steve Nash, Claudio Reyna, Tony Parker, Simone Motto, Brandon Jennings, Giuseppe Rossi and more!
Chris Bosh is allegedly decent, but I bet I can capture a photo of him looking goofy. Check out this recap video from last year’s tournament featuring Bosh:

[...] Steve Nash plays an annual charity soccer game in NYC with a load of celebrity athletes. I’m guessing this year’s edition will be a little lighter on elite soccer stars than in years past, but it’s happening this evening if you’re in the area. I suggest you go…and take lots of pictures…and send them to us…and then write an article about it. <steadyburn> [...]

Great event that he runs. And a great atmosphere to play at. I play on this field all the time. The only problem with it is that your cletes can sometimes get caught in the turf. I was the victim of this. I tore my acl on this field when my clete got caught in the turf on a clear. If they r having premier athletes play on this pitch, they should fix it up a little.
