Video: Robert Gilchrist Dominates at Future Stars 2011

By Sam Neter on September 8, 2011

Ever wondered what happens when you put an international-standard-athletic-freak into a competition for players three years younger than him? In a word, domination. It is what happened at Future Stars 2011 when Robert Gilchrist (1990 born, in a tournment for ’93s) suited up for the London United-Harefield Academy side. He only played two games (I assume he was pulled because it became pretty apparent it was unfair), but in those two games did enough for a mini-highlight reel, as well as hitting a gamewinner in OT against Sweden to send LUHA into the next round.

Check the video.

(P.S. He did it last year as well)

Do you like our work?

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.
