Damien Wilkins Monster Slam Exhibition Game

Atlanta Hawks' Damien Wilkins Gives Fans a Treat During NBA Lockout With Monster Slam Exhibition Game to support the Boys & Girls Club of America




Atlanta, GA - October 25th, 2011- Damien Wilkins and his NBA friends will hoop it up on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at the Monster Slam Exhibition Game at Clark Atlanta University. The two-fold goal of this fast paced pick up style game is to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club of America, an organization that had a life changing impact on Wilkins, while giving Atlanta fans a much needed dose of professional basketball during the lockout.

Wilkins is working to ensure that the action packed Monster Slam will include many extra treats for the fans like a halftime performance by Ludacris' R&B group "Untitled", contests and giveaways. Wilkins is motivated by the same circumstances as other pro players who have organized games during the lockout to give their colleagues an outlet and entertain the fans. Participants of the local Boys & Girls Club will attend as Wilkins' special guests. "As an alum of the program, I have been active in raising awareness and funds for an organization that I know firsthand changes lives. Wilkins further adds "I work out with these players every day and we are excited to get in a real game situation so it became a no brainer."

Participating players include: Anthony Morrow (Nets), Chris Wilcox (Pistons), Derrick Favors (Jazz), James Harden (Thunder), Jarrett Jack (Hornets), Jeff Green (Celtics), Jeff Teague (Hawks), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Jonny Flynn (Rockets), Jordan Crawford (Wizards), Josh Smith (Hawks), Lou Williams (76er's), Mike Beasley (Timberwolves), Rudy Gay (Grizzlies), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Shannon Brown (Lakers), Trey Thompkins (Clippers) and more to be announced.
