Dallas basketball gets its first king

The Rise of a City King: How Ashton Cook and Rimpage are Rewriting Basketball History

Ashton Cook did everything by the book. High school standout. College player. Even a pro offer overseas.

But like so many in the 99% of unpicked players, the dream remained unfulfilled. He walked the conventional path, yet it led to a dead end—until he found Rimpage.

Rimpage offer him more than a second chance. It handed him a new map—a new law of the wild where no one assigns you your place. You take it. You don’t wait to be chosen—you steal greatness (take without asking).

Since joining Rimpage in 2021, Ashton has been building in the background—stacking wins, grinding in the shadows. Quiet. Relentless. Undeniable. He wasn’t waiting for validation. He was working for the throne.

Today, he stands with a record that speaks louder than any marketing:

• 302–2 overall record

• 99% win rate

• 1.369 scoring efficiency (where 1.0 is perfect—scoring every possession)

Numbers like that? That’s not talk. That’s proof. And then, after years of this quiet destruction, Ashton stepped forward and made a declaration no player in history has ever made:

“I OWN DALLAS.”

No permission asked. No gatekeeper consulted. He took the crown, then defined it before the world. Define. Defend. Dominate. The Lion’s Way. This is the wild, not the zoo. In the wild, territory is not assigned—it’s seized.

The Shockwave

For two days now, his declaration has echoed through the basketball world. Thousands have seen it—players across Dallas, across leagues, levels, ages. Not a single player in Dallas in high school, college, or the NBA has stepped forward to dispute his claim.

The challenge is clear: if you think you’re better, come take it. Not in a scrimmage. Not in a debate. On record. 1v1. In the wild. It’s unprecedented. The NBA? Overseas leagues? Streetball circuits? None have ever crowned city champions this way—through raw data, ranked matches, and open warfare.

Rimpage filled in a 100-year gap in basketball. For every city in the world, there has always been one player who was the best—but their names faded into history because there was no system, no league, no stage that captured, ranked, and crowned them.

Rimpage is that system.

Rimpage is the first world basketball axis, a basketball sanctioning body that has the mission, the method, the event and the capacity to crown kings at the city, state, national and international level.

And Ashton? He’s the first king. He has what no NBA player ever claimed: factual, statistical, unchallenged ownership of a major American city. He sits alone at that table. And that changes everything.

A New Door Opens

Rimpage and Ashton Cook have disrupted the game? YES! And they opened a door. A door for the unpicked, the overlooked, the millions of players whose talent never got the stage it deserved.

Now there’s no waiting. No hoping. No begging for an opportunity. You want the crown? Steal it. Win your gym. Win your city. Win your world. Rimpage Crowns Kings.

Ashton built his legend the old-fashioned way: he earned it. No media machine spinning his story. No league propping him up for ticket sales.Just facts, just wins, just truth. And as we lead players through this door, I can’t wait to see who rises next.
