basketball culture

Sneakers and courts

Basketball culture encompasses the social practices, aesthetics, and values that have grown around the sport—particularly the NBA and urban streetball.

This includes fashion (sneakers, jerseys worn casually), hip-hop's longstanding connection to the game, playground legends, trash talk as art form, and debates over greatest players.
