Hey,

I write this from the bleachers at CitySport in Farringdon at the Rise 3x3 City League finals - having had a full on day!

This week's 3-pointer:

💫 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic complete

HASC25 is officially over with a weekend full of moments. Nojus Zajankauskas claimed the 3-point shoot out, Irene Oboavwoduo shone to claim MVP in the U19 Women's game, Amarlie Wilkinson stunned in the best dunk contest we've had at the Classic (as Obi's free throw line dunk attempt has racked up millions of views), while Ed Onyia won MVP in the U19 Men's game. The Basketball Development Conference has been well received, while The One qualifiers on Saturday night also had many moments, all in all, a successful weekend!

🚀 TPL Courts officially launched

Been down at Turnpike Lane all day for the official launch with Access Sport - a chill community day with kids clinics, tasters, dunk shows, shooting machines and games. Glad it's finally wrapped up and we move on to the next one, with Brighton being officially launched on Saturday!

🇬🇧 NBA Europe is Coming but British Basketball is Locked in a Civil War

An interesting read from The Athletic, which interestingly, has since been deleted for some reason. Luckily, the internet archive stored a snapshot :-)

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

With gratitude,

Sam
