By Sam Neter on September 14, 2012

Check out highlights of NBA House in Covent Garden, London, from a few weeks back.

The event was hailed a huge success as more than 53,000 fans attended over the 9 days! It offered 500 square meters of basketball activities, along with appearances by two-time NBA Champion Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Hall of Famer David Robinson, and GB stars Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Kieron Achara and Dominique Allen.

NBA House featured 14 clinics and skills sessions, including NBA Cares programming, all of which focused on teamwork, leadership, and healthy living. The NBA Cares events included NBA Legends Bruce Bowen, John Amaechi, Robert Horry, and Sam Perkins interacting fans and children.

“NBA House brought a first-hand NBA experience to fans of all ages here in the heart of London,” said Benjamin Morel, Senior Vice President, NBA Europe. “This interactive event captured the excitement of our league, teams, and players in a truly iconic location, hosting fans and guests from around the world in a celebration of our global sport.”

NBA House engaged more than 20 million(!) fans on social media through the league’s various Facebook and Twitter pages, and featured an interactive twitter wall that displayed live tweets sent to #nba and #nbahouse. On site, fans shared their photos and videos from the Cisco Slam Cam and the HP Trophy Lift with their friends on Facebook and via email.

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.
