MVP CAST: ALAN CUNNINGHAM

By on August 22, 2020

In the second of a two-part conversation, British basketball legend Alan Cunningham rejoins the MVP Cast.

The former BBL MVP tells us about the art of a deal, great nights with Portsmouth FC, London Towers and Worthing Bears, road trips overseas, his early connection to Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri during his playing days with Solent Stars, and why he wishes the legends of the domestic game were still connected.

In Part One, Cunningham, who made a record nine consecutive appearances in Playoff Finals and picked up silverware at Portsmouth, Glasgow Rangers, Kingston Kings and Worthing Bears, takes us through his start with the Harlem Globetrotters, dealing with racism in his youth in California, his arrival in the UK with Doncaster Panthers and his high-flying ambitions on the court which took precedence when he had to give up on his dream of becoming a Top Gun.

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.
