Aaliyah attends the 6th annual MTV ROCK N JOCK Basketball charity event at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California.
There are two teams; Bricklayers (who is the traditional winning team) and the Violators; Aaliyah was on the Bricklayers team. The first half of the game, the Bricklayers team was dominating with a score of 42-16. The second half came in really close, 94-90 (Bricklayers winning).
The two teams consisted of music figures (such as rap artist Warren G, R&B; singer Aaliyah, and Spinderella, the deejay for rappers Salt-N-Pepa), Actors (such as Linda Fiorentino of “The Last Seduction,” and Nicholas Turturro of “NYPD Blue) and even Olympian Lisa Leslie along with Harlem Globetrotters Paul “Showtime” Gaffney and Arnold “A-Train” Bernard.
The event raised $50,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which supports 170 houses in 13 countries.
