SCOT DOC TRACES HISTORY
A new NBA documentary about Scottish basketball will get its official premiere next week.
Make It Rain, produced by Matthew Halliwell, looks at the sport through its glory era in the 1960s to 1980s through formidable teams such as Boroughmuir, Falkirk and Edinburgh.
Narrated by Jim Naismith, the grandson of basketball’s inventor James Naismith, it features interviews with a number of prominent players including Alton Byrd, Kieron Achara and Robert Archibald, tracing up to the present day.
It will be shown on Sky Sports Action on Wednesday 22 May at 6.30pm and follows a visit by Jim Naismith, and the FIBA World Cup trophy, to Glasgow this week.

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.
