The passion of community basketball
Read on and you'll see what Jay-Z has to do with all of this. |
The folks at Bassett Productions (Tom, Sidney, and Andrew) recently made an incredible video about community basketball leagues. It was one of the most riveting pieces I have ever seen about basketball "for the rest of us". The documentary (I'm not quite sure if that's the right word) was actually market research for one of their clients, so unfortunately none of you will probably ever see it, as it remains the property of the client...

Simply awesome! What a great read.
Any info on where the video can be seen on/offline?
unfortunately, the video cannot be seen by anybody outside of Bassett and their client for the foreseeable future, but i'll certainly let you know with a post back here if that ever changes.
Sounds good...
You know what would really be compelling? A documentary film on the Dream League, tracing it's beginnings, where it is today and it's future.
I can already see the camera crews following you around from Potrero to Ira then back!
But seriously, the film could feature segments tracking the life of "typical" Dream Leaguers who work a 9-5 job but can't help getting hyped up to play on Sunday...players new to organized ball..."legends" of the scene...colorful refs...scorekeepers...basically everything that makes the League so appealing. The list goes on and on.
Anyone out there want to fund this?
this is actually an idea i've had kicking around for awhile now...totally agree, would be an awesome project...
