3-Point Thursday #365

Aug 01, 2024 7:21 pm

Hey,


There is A LOT happening at the moment! Got back from Paris at the weekend where I was at Jordan's 'The One' Finals - a global 1 on 1 tournament which was nuts, meanwhile we're in the peak of event season. Looking forward to Monday when I can wake up free!


This week's 3-pointer:


📈 League making moves

It would really appear that after all this 777 stuff and the BBL losing the operating license, the new professional league is gonna be in the strongest position its been in. London Lions are going to be taken over by Zalgiris (!), Surrey have formed a new club after breaking away from the uni, while Cheshire and Sheffield have both taken investment/new ownership. I'm told Manchester have a seriously interested party in buying the franchise for a sizeable sum, while the new league is working on a not insignificant amount of sponsorship and broadcast deals. All seems to be trending in the right direction, but defo had to crack a few eggs on the way!


⭕️ Where to watch the Olympics in the UK

Hopefully you are aware the Olympics is underway - the Discovery+ deal is only £3.99 to get access to all the basketball - 100% worth it and the games should only continue to get better.


🎪 Foot Locker Summer Jam this weekend

It's our last event of the summer this weekend as we have a 5 on 5 knockout tournament at Clapham Common both days - U18s Saturday, Seniors Sunday, running from 11-4:30 both days - come through and say hi, entrance is free for spectators!


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


With gratitude,


Sam
