The worlds of basketball and soccer will meet on artificial turf in downtown Manhattan on Wednesday when Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns and Claudio Reyna of the Red Bulls host the “Showdown in Chinatown.” The soccer match, for the benefit of the two players’ charitable foundations, will be played at Sara D. Roosevelt Park from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The roster of players also includes the English soccer players Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler, and the N.B.A. players Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa and David Lee.

If you like soccer, the NBA, charity, or all three, and you have the opportunity, you owe it to yourself to check this out. Should be a blast.

Afterwards, the guys are supposedly heading over to a nearby bar or club to party and hold an auction, but I can’t find much info on that.

So badly wish I could go to this.
