Third “Legend” Judge for the 2013 Snake Freestyle Basketball Contest

C-Stan – Freestyle Basketball Legend

The third “legend” judge for the 2013 Snake Freestyle Basketball contest has definitely left a lasting impression on the freestyle world.  Colin “C-Stan” Stanton was a standout member of the Dime55 streetball crew, which helped set the foundation for the way many modern freestylers make their videos and how they freestyle.  C-Stan was truly ahead of his time with his long, creative combos and swift movements.

His style differs from much of the modern freestyle scene in that it was more of an And1 streetball style and held much less of a dance, juggling, or spinning type of influence.  Make no mistake though, many of his combos and moves have been borrowed and remixed by modern freestylers.  In fact, Kamikaze told me a few years ago that C-Stan and Lee a.k.a 6th Sense were his major freestyle inspirations when he started freestyling.  If you’re not too familiar with C-Stan, you definitely need to do some homework.  Simply search “C-Stan Freestyle” on Youtube and watch the magic – and freestyle history.
