THE WORLD'S BIGGEST  STREETBALL TOURNAMENT CELEBRATEd It's 20 YEARS anniversary

Since 2003 Quai 54 organizes the world’s biggest streetball tournament to unify all the different cultures around basketball. This year was unique because to celebrate the 20th years, Quai 54 took place in one of the most iconic sports arenas, Roland-Garros.

THE TOURNAMENT

Celebrating International Basketball

With 16 elite teams and 160 top pro or amateur players who represent 10 differents nations the Quai 54 is the place to be during summer if you love basketball. 

During the first week-end of July and for 15 high-level games, players fight every second on the dopest court in the World. 

THE SLAM DUNK CONTEST

Most Iconic Slam Dunk Contest?

In front of Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, Jayson Tatum & Gaby Williams, three of the best dunkers in the world battle to take home the trophy.  Piotr Grabowski, Tyler Currie and Christon Staples were on fire and showcased one of the craziest dunks've we ever seen. 

Just like that, Grabowski -wearing a Zion Jersey- passed an Eastbay over Zion himself while Staples enjoyed jumping over 7’6 players.

FOR THE CULTURE

Celebrating Culture at the QUAI

Quai 54 is not only about basketball, it’s about unifying people and the culture around our beautiful game. It’s evident the whole weekend was packed by dancers from around the globe 

and world class artists like Omah Lay, Oxlade or Ninho who performed in front an extatic crowd.  
Like every year, this is an essential part of the Quai 54 experience.
