The NBA for the first time in the Middle East organized a great event for all NBA and bball fans known as NBA Jam Fest.
Main Participants in this Event were:
Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon, New York City Dancers, Milwaukee Bucks Rim Rockers, as well as the Indiana Pacers mascot Boomer

Coach Neil Meyer (Experienced NBA coach who gave many clinics on shooting skills/drills during the event) http://www.nba.com/coachfile/neal_meyer/index.html
Jerry Burrel of Acrodunk who was MC-ing on center court http://www.acrodunk.com/meet.html
as well as Adam Kechil who was also Mc-ing on the court where the 3 point competition was taking place, I don't know the full name of the guy responsible for the Slam Dunk event but his first name was Anwar.
Additional Features:
Larry O'Brian NBA Trophy, Real size images of NBA players with height, Stands of NBA players with info. including hand and shoe size.
Stations:
Mini courts that were used for the 3 on 3 events, Slam Dunk Station, 3 point shootout station, as well as center court were the majority of the action was taking place.
I participated in most of the events over the 3 days and I won a few prizes as well... even though they weren't any grand prizes.
Most important thing for me is that I got to meet up with interact with alot of great individuals and I had a great time at the event and I mentioned this to the Managing Director of the NBA in the Middle East (Aly El Hamamsy).
Here are some pics from the event (List 1)

(given to me after the team I was on defeated the NYC Dancers in a Free Throw shooting on center court. As for the last prize it's a small soft NBA Spalding ball but this was the second prize since I lost in the final round of a game of NBA knockout (out of 30 contestants). In the last day of competition we were all in awe at the talent of a young Filipino boy (around 7 or 8 years old) who literally kicked everyone's a$$ in the mixed shootout competition. I got eliminated by him in the quarterfinals and he did beat some really good shooters in both the semifinal as well as the final round.
Of course man.. You don't get to meet these cheerleaders everyday.. even though if you personally ask me I have seen so many cheerleaders this past summer when I was watching the World Championships in Turkey but these Knicks cheerleaders were quite feisty and had a "badass" attitude
