Ochocinco is in New York City because he and fellow football player and VH1 reality show figure Terrell Owens are guest coaching EBC's streetball tournament tonight in Rucker Park. Admission is free for the event, which starts at 6 p.m. (the Ochocinco vs. TO game is at 8 p.m.), but Ochocinco has also been entertaining his fans and Twitter followers while he's been in the city. And his followers have been giving him tips, like where to have breakfast with his mother and that ESPN Zone is no longer around. Here are some of his Tweets since Sunday morning:

@nflcommish Dad everything is ok here in NY, I have the situation under control, I turned the other cheek but he kept provoking me, thanks Aww man NYPD is so awesome we are all headed to Starbucks after we drop the bouncer off at the police station for assault on me Back at the club in ViP with 3 NYPD officers poppin bottles of cranberry n red bull, I went from being outside to having a ball! I luv NY Nice 2 hours off headed to mid-town to do a lil shopping, it feels like a 100 degrees in NY, Damn these cab drivers got to be the best drivers in the world, they speed and dodge eachother and pedestrians with no accidents Here's video of Ochocinco and Owens discussing tonight's streetball game below and you can watch a full episode of his VH1 dating show here.
