The NBA and Los Angeles Clippers are bringing an exciting opportunity to the city, sparking a basketball revolution! But who will be the lucky recipients of these outdoor hoops?
In a generous initiative, the Clippers and the NBA have joined forces to gift free outdoor basketball hoops to Los Angeles residents in the lead-up to the highly anticipated NBA All-Star Game on February 15th at Intuit Dome. This campaign will run for 75 days, building excitement and engaging the community.
Starting from Wednesday, families can share their personal stories on clippers.com/hoops, explaining why they deserve to be one of the daily winners of these coveted hoops. Coaches, parents, and players are encouraged to participate and reflect on the impact of basketball in their lives. Is it a source of inspiration? A catalyst for change? Or simply a beloved pastime?

It invites participants to delve into the transformative power of basketball and its ability to shape individuals and communities.
