His performance reinforced one of Wellball’s central principles: elite competition remains accessible at any age when the game is built around precision.
Below is a streamlined look at how each team performed in the mini-tournament:

Magid led all players at 79 percent from the field, while Brian Kortovich delivered one of the event’s most influential performances by converting nine GameChangers. His shotmaking repeatedly flipped challenge momentum and played a major part in Team Wellball’s undefeated run. Jacob Rose added strong mid-range and long-range efficiency, rounding out the event’s most consistent trio.
Team Chamelo | 1–1
Stephon Marbury and Lance Stephenson both delivered efficient shooting, adapting quickly to Wellball’s pace. Their shot profiles kept Team Chamelo competitive in every stretch.
Team MyPrize | 1–1
Harris Cohen posted one of the strongest long-range showings of the afternoon and became a key factor in Team MyPrize securing their win.
Team Pure Fuel | 0–2
