Alcatraz Island
- Alcatraz Island
The venue of this prison duel, located on a small island in San Francisco Bay, California, with an area of 0.0763 square kilometers, deep cliffs on all sides, and difficult to communicate with outsiders, was selected by the U.S. government as the prison site, and once had a Federal Prison on Alcatraz Island, which held many well-known felons, and was abolished in 1963.
◤Origin of the event◢
Before the closure of Alcatraz Prison in 1963, the island's inmates played one-on-one basketball bullfights, and the winner was called King of Alcatraz king of "the Rock." This prison holds many of the most dangerous criminals. Many inmates have tried to escape, but the prison's tight walls and isolated waters off San Francisco make it difficult for inmates to escape.
On September 18, 2010, Red Bull held its first King of the Rock (KOTR) one-on-one street basketball brawl in Alcatraz, San Francisco, and this one-on-one street basketball bullfight became the only official sports event to be held in Alcatraz, San Francisco, USA.
