“My intention is to inspire hoopers of every age, and show what basketball brings to our lives, far beyond the classic win/lose dimension of the sport. We experience firsthand how basketball is an endless source of wisdom and meaningful encounters, both an art form and a grand scenic game. At first, I was amazed by the pure love for the game that even renowned champions wanted to be part of HOOPTIME, highlighting for me that this passion needed further expression in a new type of basketball documentary.“
