Learn How To Dribble Like Streetball Player ‘The Professor’ With #GotHandles VR Experience

With HTC Vive controllers and a virtual reality headset, you will be able to compete head to head with notable streetballer The Professor in his #GotHandles virtual reality game

The Professor, real name Grayson Boucher, grew to prominence during the AND1 Mixtape Tour, a basketball competition and exhibition that showcased a group of traveling streetball players that challenged local teams. The Professor recently teamed up with Mountain Dew and content studio Secret Location to create #GotHandles, which combines live action, 360 degree virtual reality with an interactive CGI game in an experience that was released Friday. 

In the game, one is immersed into the world of The Professor, transporting you to a virtual asphalt floor where a virtual Boucher teaches you the ropes of the game. A user is able to simulate dribble combinations and compete with the master dribbler himself: The Professor. The game essentially boils down to one foundation: the Professor will provide you with a dribble combination that you must execute in the allotted time limit — the swifter the motions, the more points you will get. 

The game is available now to download and play for free.
