"This is just one way he decided to give back to the community with a free basketball game. He is really into giving back to the community. All of south L.A. He has given away basketball shoes and done other events," Skipp Townsend, a member of Second Call, said in a statement.

Emergency responders were dispatched to Record Planet, a recording studio in LA, around 1:09 a.m. Friday morning requesting medical assistance due to Brown experiencing a seizure, a source told TMZ.
Brown recently tweeted then later deleted a post that indicated that the world famous pop star was tired of being famous and wanted to get out of the music industry. Brown also stated that his current album X would be his last album.
"Don't worry mainstream America," Chris tweeted on Aug. 6. "After this X album, it'll probably be my last album. … Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!"
But a source close to Chris told HollywoodLife.com that the message was not to be taken seriously with the message being in reference to the continued media coverage he has been receiving. The source added that Brown would never be done with music.
"It's not true. Chris can't be killed. He won't be defeated. The media is strong, but he isn't about to let them ruin him. He was built to last. It's a rough patch for him and like all great [men], he'll get through it," the insider said.
