Whenever they were not playing ball or talking smack themselves, they took pictures and videos capturing the unique atmosphere that can only be found in the Mekka of basketball. Reason enough to highlight some of their works in an exhibition that will portrait the basketball spirit of NYC with passion and attention to detail like it has never been done before. This Friday evening at K1X NYC!

Shaun Pinkney, 32, a local basketball player from Hove, died earlier this year.

“We are proud to dedicate this tournament to the life of Shaun Pinkney,” said England Basketball’s Miguel Tello, one of the organisers of the event.
