Think of Others Thursday: Basketball

Around the World

Basketball Around the World is a Facebook page that shows basketball being played around the world through pictures and videos.

Learn about the history of FIBA (International Basketball Federation, better known by it's French acronym for Fédération Internationale de Basketball).



Serving Others

Learn about some of the ways the NBA serves others.

Host a skills clinic and invite local kids.  You don't have to be the best basketball player to share what you know.  Choose your best skills and share what you can with a small group of kids.

Mentor a younger child, perhaps a sibling, as they learn the skills to play basketball.

Host a fundraiser where you raise money for an organization like the National Wheelchair Basketball Association or your local Wheelchair Basketball League.  You could raise funds by hosting a 3-on-3 tournament, hosting a basketball shoot-out where the participants find sponsors who will donate based on how many baskets they can shoot in a given time period, or you could charge for a one-day skills clinic.  Please share any of the things you might try so that others can be inspired and we can cheer you on.
