@SamNeter Always thought BBL/WBBL clubs having a branded outdoor court in their city would be a cool thing to do. Community presence for years.

Every BBL club should do a park takeover at their local court and play against local hoopers...would be so dope - build connection with the grassroots/city, connect with/create new fans, create potentially viral content. This is awesome.

Down at Platt Fields Park for the latest #ProjectSwish court launch in collaboration Universal Pictures and the Champions movie. @mcr_bball junior coaching session 12-1pm 🏀

"The facility is amazing for the young people of the area to come and play football or basketball, or whatever sport they want." - Actual quote from the opening.

Multi-use games areas suck enough for basketball players as it is, so now we're renovating them with astroturf. England, you never do cease to amaze me. twitter.com/i/status/16392…

City Hall is making sure that London’s next generation of basketball stars get the opportunities they need to shine. We’ve teamed up with the @NBA to fund 500 new coaches to help 20,000 young people. Thanks to @AllenIverson for showing us a thing or two on the court 🏀
