Considering AND1 is a huge money making machine and have been around for 15 yrs (i think) they've pretty much monopolised the whole (i'm going to hate to say this but...) 'streetball' industry.

YPA and NOTIC have some talented ballers (Ghost rida, King Handles etc) but they do not have a steady source of financial income coming in to support their growth (e.g clothing line and NBA endorsements) whereas AND1 have all these and more.

What YPA and DIME rely on is pretty much the media (mainly the internet) and word of mouth to support themselves. And i'm good to assume with whatever mixtape they sell over the internet is pretty meager compared to AND1.

NO i am not hating on both these teams because they do this for the love (It's questionable about AND1 though) and that is why i respect them for what they do....

BUt no i do not ever think that YPA or DIME could ever takeover because sadly AND1 as a corporation have too much spending money on their hands and will more than likely 'repackage' their type of 'streetball'. Much love to the original AND1 players though. xept for professor..He a bitch.
