After speeches and the ribbon cutting, the exhibition basketball game kicked off, featuring several local celebrities squaring off against the RangerACE campers. Legendary NBA hall of famer, George “Iceman” Gervin joined in on the fun, as did San Antonio Spurs official mascot – The Coyote – and the Austin Spurs official mascot – Da Bull.
