🎨 Hoopsfix Foundation partners with Access Sport

Super pleased to announced the Hoopsfix Foundation has partnered with Access Sport to renovate and activate five basketball courts across the capital over the next five years.

🏆 Enemies win BIG3 title as Jaylen Brown suits up

The BIG3’s season came to an end at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, as Enemies defeated Triplets. However, the big story was Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown becoming the first active player to suit up - as he played in the All-Star game - fresh off signing the biggest contract in NBA history ($300million anyone?!).

🏞 Hezi God park takeover at Deptford Blue Cage

Was dope to get down to this last Friday, as Ryan Carter aka the ‘Hezi God’ and former NBA star Gerald Green caused a stir in South London as they took part in a ‘park takeover’ with London Hoops. The community came out for it and Carter put on a show - check some of the clips on social.

That wraps up another week, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else.

With gratitude,

Sam
