Why Connect

This work is not about launching a league.


It is about building shared infrastructure—physical, digital, and economic—that only functions through alignment with others.


The Foundation exists to:


  • Rebuild American basketball development from the community level up
  • Expand access without dependence on current pay-to-play systems
  • Integrate sport, education, media, and ownership into a single, coherent ecosystem


If your work intersects with any of these areas, a conversation is likely worthwhile.

Ways to Engage

You may be reaching out to:


  • Explore partnership or pilot collaborations
  • Host, support, or co-design future programming
  • Contribute expertise, research, or institutional resources
  • Better understand the Foundation’s roadmap, structure, or long-term objectives


All serious inquiries are reviewed. We respond where there is clear alignment.
