Recent tweets between Los Angeles and New York City Mayors Antonio Villaraigosa and Michael Bloomberg have "intensified" into a bi-coastal basketball challenge. Competing boasts of the athletic supremacy in each of their respective cities (via Twitter) have boiled over into an official challenge to be settled during The People's Games this spring. Tryouts for the representative teams will begin in both cities this Sunday, with the opportunity for each of the final rosters to be coached by NBA Legends Earl "The Pearl" Monroe (New York-native) and Lucius Allen (Los Angeles-native) in early May's final three-game series.
