Alston was the inspiration for the first Mixtape and is a longtime AND1 endorsee. He took his legendary streetball exploits all the way to the NBA, and remains with AND1 through today.

In late 1998, a videotape containing streetball stunts was delivered to AND1 by a high school coach in New York. The low-quality video was a “mixtape” of hip-hop music and dazzling basketball moves by a streetballer named Rafer Alston, who had just entered the 1998 NBA Draft.

A short while later, AND1 edited and reprinted 50,000 digital copies of Alston’s Mixtape and distributed them across America through basketball camps, clinics and record labels. The tape instantly became the buzz of the basketball world.

The videotape was later known as the "Skip Tape," referring to Alston's streetball nickname "Skip 2 My Lou." Alston, although not yet in the NBA, would soon sign with AND1.
