Making It Rain: A Scottish Basketball Story – full documentary

By Sam Neter on February 7, 2020

Having aired on a TV last year, Making it Rain: A Scottish Basketball Story is now available in full for free on YouTube courtesy of Sky Sports.

The film tells the story of the sport’s deep Scottish roots, exploring a nationally televised domestic rivalry in the 1980s, the journey of the first Scot ever to play in the NBA; the recently passed Robert Archibald, and the current team’s great run in the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Featuring the likes of Kieron Achara, Robert Archibald, Alton Byrd, Vince Carter, Mike D’Antoni and Pau Gasol, the film does not disappoint – we need more like it around the British game!

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.
