By Sam Neter on April 9, 2020

‘No Mercy’ a new documentary telling the story of Great Britain star Pops Mensah-Bonsu’s life and basketball journey is being released next week on Monumental Sports Network.

Mensah-Bonsu, who grew up in Tottenham and played under the great, late Joe White in Hackney before departing to the US for High School, had a successful 11-year pro career in the NBA and Euroleague and is now the General Manager of Washington Wizards’ G-League affiliate team, the Capital City Go-Go.

Having had one of the most successful professional basketball careers for any player out of the UK, the 34 minute long documentary intends to tell his story, and is set for release next Thursday by Monumental Sports Network, the OTT digital network owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment.

For UK fans, it will premiere on Monumental Sports Facebook page on Friday April 17 at 3am (Thursday 16/04 7pm local) and Pops will be watching live and commenting in the chat. It will then remain on Facebook for a week before going on the Monumental Sports Network. Click here for the Facebook event, where you can click ‘Get Reminder’ to be notified when it goes live.

Here’s the 1 minute trailer that dropped yesterday:

“Sports was going to provide for him a platform beyond just the window of time that he was going to be an athlete.”

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.
