We’ve been following Under Armour‘s ‘Are You From Here?’ Tour from the beginning. While Brandon Jennings, Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker and Greivis Vasquez have held it down for Team UA so far, they ran into some tough competition in New York City, specificically Lincoln (you can check out the exclusive photos here). It was there they lost to a team of the school’s alumni that included Lance Stephenson and Sebastian Telfair. Hit the jump for highlights of the team’s stop at Boys & Girls High School as well.

After an epic NBA Finals, pundits around the world saw July 1’s expiration of the collective bargaining agreement as the “End of Days.” Instead, we witnessed NBA superstars Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose and Chris Paul fly to the Philippines for an exhibition game; Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings and John Wall hit every top-flight Pro-Am across the country; and two of the most well-known summer leagues – D.C.’s Goodman League and L.A.’s Drew League – battle for bragging rights in our nation’s capital.
