The Hook-Up: Back in Brooklyn

From the age of 10 through now, I've been working, hustling and getting after it. The biggest reason why I am who I am is because of where I got my start: Brooklyn, New York, USA.

So, when I recently had the opportunity to go back to my roots and give back to the Brooklyn community, I jumped on it. In the season finale of "The Hook-Up" Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez joined me to hook-up an incredible Brooklyn-based organization called CHiPS.

CHiPS is a charity that serves the hungry and homeless regardless of faith, race or ethnicity. It is supported locally by churches, synagogues, civic groups and volunteers and acts as a safe-haven for people going through difficult times.

Brook, BlueRock Energy CEO Phil Van Horne and I paid a surprise visit to CHiPS, bringing donations from our friends at Papa John's, Baked in Brooklyn and Mitchell & Ness. We even got the chance to surprise the amazing staff at CHiPS with something special to thank them for their selfless work!

I hope you'll tune-in to the episode, which debuts tonight at 11:30pm on YES Network (following the Nets postgame). You will also get to see me revisit my hook-up with cancer survivor and military veteran Ricky Bruno. Ricky was one of the patients Darryl Strawberry, Evander Holyfield and I surprised at Winthrop University Hospital. His story was so inspiring and since he is a lifelong Yankees fan, I invited him and his family to Yankee Stadium for a game...then my friend Johnny Damon surprised him and he was honored by the Yankees on the field!

  • My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my EX-boyfriend who broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet for help, I searched properly and I saw different reviews of Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via what’s app on (+2348167159012). He gave me reason to live again and he prepared a spell and told me that my Ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it, my EX-boyfriend came back to me and our wedding will be held Soon. Contact him now!!! if you need any help. Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and he does a lot of spells. Once again i want to say am very grateful for your help
