On Saturday, Converse launched the Converse Open Gym Puerto Rico, the grassroots program dedicated to supporting youth basketball. Serving as honorary on-court monitors were Converse athletes Carlos Arroyo and JJ Barea, who talked to the kids about how basketball has played a major role in their lives. A record number of kids, more than 1,000, attended the launch of the Converse Open Gym Puerto Rico which is free for all participants ages 10-18. As part of the event, kids were invited to play pick-up games and had an opportunity to try on the latest Converse basketball shoes. The event featured a green screen-technology photo area where kids created their own Converse Connectivity Campaign, a temporary tattoo parlor highlighting the Puerto Rican national flag and Open Gym graphics, and the Converse barbershop where local barbers, including Carlos Arroyo, gave free haircuts to participants. They even helped some of the kids with drawing their own pair of Converse. Sole Collector

This is what a veteran point guard looks like: At some point in his 14 minute debut, Carlos Arroyo called a Celtics play that was notable in that Rivers didn’t go over it with him. “Everything happened so fast,” Arroyo said. “I don’t even remember what it was.” Ever since he’s arrived, Arroyo has had his head buried in film, trying to learn the ins and outs of the offense and he has already made an impression on his new teammates. Garnett: “Carlos played in the league for a long time for a lot of headstrong coaches. He brings a sense of leadership. A lot of respect around the locker room for him and we’re glad he’s here.” WEEI.com
