You’re gonna have to bear with me whilst I go through footage from a little while back…this time we’re in July, when I received an invite to the Nike Western Europe Media Summit, which was held here in London.
It was an opportunity for Nike to show off all their latest technologies, including the Nike+ basketball range as well as kits and other performance clothing that would be on display at the London 2012 Olympics. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but when I walked in and saw Charles Barkley and Carl Lewis walk past, I realised it was big!
In this Vlog you can see a little glimpse of what went down, as well the few minutes I got with Charles Barkley (completely unprepared), who, for the record, was the nicest NBA player I have ever met. True gent. Anyway, check it out:
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
