I came across this David Banner throwback with the basketball background with guys putting in that hard work on the hardwood. In an era of hoop heads and hip-hop heads, the two married in a perfect match where we saw throwback jerseys, mentions of streetball legends like Pee Wee Kirkland in lyrics, and even music videos like below.
What’s your favorite memory of hip-hop culture infused with the basketball world?

Hello Bounce Nation.
Below is some information for a new program I am starting for adults called: Basketball Boot Camp.
Please a take a read and forward to anyone you think may be interested.
As many of us know staying in shape is very important but also very challenging for many of us.
This past Spring my grandfather passed away just short of 98. In 1925 at the age of 14 he was part of the Borough of Manhattan Championship Team from PS 141. As the decades came and went fitness remained a major part of his everyday until his early 90’s.
We all love the game, here is a way for all of us to stay healthy while enjoying our passion at the same time.

The sport of basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Naismith teamed up with the International YMCA Training School in sending Christian missionaries to China. (The former International YMCA Training School was where Naismith taught physical education. Later, it changed its name, known today as Springfield College.) Basketball spread in China as some of Naismith’s original players even ended up showcasing the sport. It became the second major country (and Asia the second major continent) to represent basketball in its earliest form. Read More »

It’s Elementary: this young girl has been herbatized with OSBS.
Overstuffed Backpack Syndrome (OSBS) can overwhelm anyone at anytime, even the writer of this story. My trusty backpack was vicked outside of the library in January. Subsequently, I was reprimanded for violating dorm security rules after crossing over a woman in stilettos. (I knew her, and ol’ girl was playin’ me close like poppyseeds on a muffin, I swear. She’s Payton in a skirt; her range is limited to about six feet, however.) My crimes: carelessness and disturbing the peace. My punishment: I was forced to stuff my ball gear in my secondary pack, one that barely had space to fit my binders, writing implements, power cords/chargers, and laptop. I always bring my own ball, shorts, and a pair of size 13s to hoop, so my knapsack is replete, filled to the brim with the rudiments. I’d be remiss if I said I didn’t look like the young lady pictured above. Read More »

You must read first : A French in New York
Monday, 22th of September, our first week in New York is starting. Romain found a place to sleep in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and me in Spanish Harlem. It was hard to be really synchronized everyday because we were on two different areas.
Our first day of chilling started at Union Square, and went upper town. We didn’t have any bball games planned or any open gym session so we decided to walk and search for the bball court in Central Park. After a few minutes, we found that ” Great Lawn Playground”. Two full courts on a green concrete, low rims, nets, half circled boards and this plate on the ground : ” Foot locker and Nike basketball court”. Some kids were playing, we just started to shoot, two kids joined us and as usual I took some pictures.
