@nbaarabic is live on NBA channels and this time we’re stateside.
After Abu Dhabi,
@darkestman headed to the US to explore the game at its purest level from the iconic street courts of New York City through to the local hoops and food spots in Philadelphia.
Pickup runs, local legends, youth sessions, and the people using the game to build something bigger than basketball.
Another episode we’re proud to have creatively developed and produced for the NBA team.
Huge thanks to
@darkestman for throwing himself into every run and every story,
@harrypinero for staying locked in across the trips, our NBA partners, the brilliant contributors in NY and Philly, and our production unit who made it all happen.
Special shout to
@regulardannyy @regularhoops for plugging us into the local basketball scenes in both cities across a great few shoot days.
Watch all of the episodes on the NBA YouTube Channel.
Two down. Two to go.
