'One on one basketball is what I was raised on, and Baltimore is a city that understands and appreciates the skill level that is needed to success," Bogues added. "We will rep the city well, and I am looking forward to helping Tracy advance his mission of making OBL a global must see, must participate and must engage with brand of basketball."

"Battle of the Cities" will take an expanded version of the original OBL, with elite one-on-one athletes bringing their own vision, culture and prestige tied to the city from where they grew up,  played and/or call home. Each city-based team will have a four man roster, comprised of players who best reflect the tradition, values and basketball culture of the city the 1 v 1 team represents, hand selected by the Owners/GMs. "OBL: Battle of the Cities" will take place over multiple weeks in Orlando, Florida, where McGrady was raised playing 1 v 1 himself, from May 15 to June 30, with teams competing for the swagger, pride, and identity of every city represented.
