New Orleans hip-hop mogul Master P asked all the community to come out Saturday for a charity scrimmage at the University of New Orleans.
The goal was to raise enough money to replace the university’s Jumbotron, which was lost during Hurricane Katrina.
Master P teamed up with Shaquille O’Neal to put on the scrimmage. The teams competing were UNO’s basketball team against Shaq’s son’s team, Sacramento State University.
We caught up with Master P, whole been serving as UNO’s President of Basketball Operations, AKA Coach P.
Percy Master P Miller said, “This is gonna be our first game. Our first test. We are just going to keep getting better and better from here. When we put that New Orleans on our jersey. We are representing the city of New Orleans. We can compete with anyone, but we still need more help. I am encouraging businesses to come out. Step up and come out with us.”
The official regular season game for the UNO basketball team will take place in November.
