1997 - SLAM DUNK BATTLE OF BANDS by Fiona Parker
POP sensations Backstreet Boys and newcomers `N' Sync are meeting to play basketball in Berlin next month.
The lads - who all come from Florida - will give any money raised to charity.
"We put our names into a hat to pick the teams," says `N' Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick, a school pal of Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough. "I don't think it's a case of who's going to win," says Justin Timberlake, 15, `N' Sync's youngest member.
"It's more a question of walking on to the court without embarrassing ourselves!" `N' Sync's debut single Tearin' Up My Heart is released on Monday.
