                Basketball 365 and LEGO helped you re-create 
                top NBA action with the ultimate NBA Challenge set.
 
 Featuring a full range of LEGO mini-figures, the players spring 
              into action on a genuine NBA arena, complete authentic Spalding 
              ball, sponsors logos and spectator benches.
 We 
                had four sets (worth £39.99 each) to give away, and each 
                week, for four weeks, the first person selected by the computer, 
                who correctly answered the competition question won their very 
                own LEGO NBA Challenge set.
 Our Week 1 winner was Sean Feeney from Eastbourne, 
                in week 2 it was Josh Berkovitch from High Wycombe, 
                in week 3 it was Eduard Scott  from Crawley, 
                the week 4 winner of the last LEGO NBA Challenge is  
                Mark Finch 
                from Surrey.

                and be sure to look out for more exciting competitions from Basketball
