The NBA until about ten years ago it was a very closed world, which looked with great distrust to its own outside and in particular to Europe. In recent seasons, however, not only have European and non-American players increased, but they are having an ever greater impact. Just think of Giannis Antetokounmpo, two times MVP and NBA champion, or Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic. And so the League is taking the opportunity to expand further, even in the media. According to what is written by Repubblica e taken from BolognaBasket, the NBA would shoot footage to make a 40-minute mini-documentary on the city of Bologna, called Basket City because of the visceral passion for this sport.
On the other hand, the NBA itself has “fished” a lot from Bologna: Manu Ginobili it is the most striking case. But also Marco Belinelli, or players who after the NBA wore the shirt of one of the two Bolognese, such as the Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins. The documentary will obviously talk about how Bologna lives basketball, its link with the NBA and also the work that is done in the area to promote the ball in wedges, including city tournaments and initiatives. The videos were shot in recent months and will be edited in the coming weeks. There is still no precise publication date, but everything will be released in 2022.
