Office of the Commissioner
Welcome to the MOMO 1 Open — a signature sports promotional experience from STM Gaming. To every player who lives for the game and every fan who feels its rhythm, I’m grateful you’re here. Basketball has been a part of my life from a very early age—as both a fan and a player—and for nearly a decade I’ve been running open gym games and matches driven by pure love for the sport. That passion has never faded. If anything, it’s grown stronger with time, shaping the vision behind what the – M1 Open – stands for today, Make Offense MOve.
Basketball’s global reach continues to change, and with that growth comes an opportunity to rethink how the competition of the game can evolve.
My passion lies in innovation—reimagining how the game is played, how matchups are formed, and how competition is experienced.
At its core, basketball has always been about energy, creativity, and connection, and those elements deserve to be protected and elevated as the sport moves forward.
Through the MOMO 1 Open, my goal is to bring back the raw passion and true competitiveness that made basketball special in the first place. In recent years, the sport has drifted in ways that have left many fans and players feeling disconnected. MOMO 1 Open is about introducing a different kind of competition—one that values intensity, authenticity, and the love of the game above all else.
I invite players and fans everywhere to stand with me and visit the Back the M1 Open page to see how you can help power our mission. Together, we can help transform basketball into something bigger, brighter, and more meaningful—pushing it to a new level while honoring what made us fall in love with the game.
Through STM Gaming, the company I founded, we’re launching a new basketball showdown experience in 2026. By reimagining the format, rules, and style of play, we aim to reignite the sport in a bold way. Stay tuned as my team and I bring this vision to life.
