🇯🇵 From an abandoned factory to a cool basketball court, this spot in Osaka, Japan is a great new addition to a thriving basketball community in the city and country. When my friend @benlyons and I happened to be in the same city unexpectedly, we had to check it out. #basketball #travel #japan #osaka
Basketball Passport: Unboxing NBA Magazines
มุมมอง 32821 วันที่ผ่านมา
🇦🇺 Before the Internet, we survived on basketball magazines, especially in Australia. I started collecting them around 1987, when I was about 11 years old. They meant everything to me and I read them cover to cover. Incredibly, my dad kept them all this time and in pristine condition. On a recent trip to Australia, I unboxed them and discovered some absolute gems and just how often Michael Jord...

🇨🇦 Joel Haywood aka @thekinghandles has been a regular at the Kits beach court in Vancouver for decades, showing off his dazzling moves and creativity well before the social media era existed. I got to experience the handles made famous all around the world.

Isiah Thomas was a hero of mine when I first started following the NBA in the 1980s. I was inspired by a guy his size 6’1, which is not tall by regular people's standards, but well below the NBA average which was 6’7 at the time. He won championships in 1989 and 1990, the 1990 performance a true masterclass against the Portland Trail Blazers. We worked together at Turner, and during the NBA Fin...

Going back to where you started is always special!
💯
Did 'ol 8 toes show up?
Haha, no he lives in Darwin
Ben being a Knicks fans instantly makes me dislike him. lol
Fair
Come on Leigh! No one wants a part 2. We want a full-blown 1 hour video going through the magz, maybe toss in some trivia from the articles! 🏀💯
Awesome court! Is there an update to the overall status of your project or the future? You should put out a podcast recapping everything and letting people know what's upcoming. Plus your thoughts on the Olympics!
Coming soon
Part 2, 3? More?
Wow, this is incredible you still have all of these...
Come to delnice
Love this stuff mate! PS what’s your father’s address? 😂

Shout out to your family! Dickie number one father
Part 2 for sureeeee!!

Google the Emporium shopping center jn Melbourne
Love the friendly competition! Leigh always loves his chances it seems 😂
NBA Street!
Love how the joy shines through in his game.
Dope video Leigh!
Haha this is sick
A couple really great passes from Toshiro!
He’s got a deeeep bag!
Hahaha sicko!
Japan always delivers! Smart, driven people. Gonna have to catch a game at Yoyogi when I visit next year.
Looks similar to Deuce McBride
Loved traveling to Tokyo. Beautiful city!
Gorgeous court, and us old guys like the half courts 😂
My layup 👌
Greatest crossover ever
아직도 젊어보여
R.i.p. Drazen! Legend passed way too soon. ❤
You should have shown your dunk Leigh Leigh!! 😂
So much positivity in your videos keep it up man!, We host basketball games on Fridays and Sundays in Whakatane New Zealand contact us if your ever in town in New Zealand.
James just got fired
Hey Coach Malone! You deserve your flowers too good sir! A fine gentleman and coach from my perspective. He was taught by a legend too. R.I.P. Coach Brendan Malone! First coach of my beloved Raptors. Powerhouse in the NBA family. I hope the grassroots basketball community is taking notes on what this coach is saying and what Leigh is highlighting in this video along with all of his other content. Love and respect the game and those around you. When I see the game being played the right way, I love it. I don't care who wins or loses at that point. And I hate losing. Respecting the game to me is more important than wins and losses. ❤
LOL that snail was like thanks Leigh! Two seconds later.. 🙈😅
❤ that fuzzy peach basketball 😉 i was so sad when mine got run over by a car. My friend didn't even run after it.. if he only knew what it took to get it to look that way 😢😂 just kidding. Glad it was the ball and not my friend lolll you're living a hoopers dream Leigh! Hope you meet only top quality people along your journeys! 🤗
I highly 2nd this! Practiced free throws to end my hoop sessions every single day 365 for my first year playing ball back in the day. Rain or shine, even in the snow! I would sink the shot, walk over to the net to pick up the ball sitting in the snow, brush it off, then repeat. Pretty sure my parents and neighbours thought I was crazy. And they'd be right! Crazy for basketball! Ahaha when Ballislife ❤🏀
Theyre lucky Leigh didn't pump up his kicks and show them what's what 😂 woulda been hilarious if you threw down something crazy and just walked off saying, "Pippen ain't easy." *brushes dirt off shoulder* ahaha 💁♂️
🤨 was my face the whole time seeing a swishless net loll the lack of satisfaction.. i can understand completely lol I couldn't help but have a flashback memory of when Kobe mentioned how he used to study the sound of swishes. That's the kind of love I have for this game, so yeah.. if all I have is a peach basket, then you better hold onto that broom cuz I got some baskets for you 😂 seeing this net gave me vibes of those kids things in the playgrounds (idk what theyre called. It has a hole on top and 3-4 holes on the bottom for the ball to fall out 🤷♂️😂)
Marija said.. you wanna play me in jeans? Just you wait. I'll be in a suit next time to one up you 😂😜
I'd love to catch a raps game with you some time @Leigh! And ofc to hoop with you. 🤙
😍🤭 i said omgoodness when I saw her launch and make that deep one. 😮 I think I just realized my future basketball wife might be in Serbia 😅 nothing but ❤ for Serbia and Serbian basketball! 👌 she seems like a keeper to me! And yes. Hoopers can't resist hooping. Even if it means playing with an imaginary ball and debating whether or not it was a swish or block lmaoo
Yoooo soo cool you got to check this place out hehe ive seen so many pics and vids but never been. I'll probably scroll thru your vids later to look for more vids! Loving your content Leigh! Hard to put my phone down from watching all your vids! Keep up the awesome stuff bud! Would be nice to meet the legend one day 😉 with your pro trash talking skills.. we better call you Leigh Legend after the great Larry Legend 😜 or just call you Larry 2.0 lol 10 points for that balcony shot 👏
I LOVE everything you said in this message in its entirety! 😍❤️🔥 I will also add.. it can be one's vice or sanctuary when they're going thru rough times and just need to forget about everything outside those lines. Ballislife! ❤🏀 I hope the game brings yall closer together. Remember. Choose love, not hate. Every single one of you matter whether you believe it or not. Stay classy San Diego? 😜🤙
LOLLL only 13 comments?!?!? Dang. You cooked one of the all time greatest pg's and not that much love yall? Cmon. Haha you had me yelling OHHH @ 1am after that shimmy fadaway. Nasty ahaha then watched again and had me dyin when you said look familiar 🤣🤣🤣 someone grew up watching larry bird trash talking videos 😂👏 pretty sure my competitive arse would demand a rematch if you beat me while talkin that smack to me 😢😅
Omg!!! I knew you looked familiar! You were on The Starters right? I always enjoyed your parts on the show bud! Always good vibes! ❤ Forgot about the show even though we all still count the wedgies 😂 your show lives on forever haha i think what youre doing is so cool! Liked and subscribed. Would be any baller's dream to hoop on every cool looking court in the world! Would be cool to hoop with you one day. You got some serious game bud. I was impressed when I saw you hit that jumper in that guy's face haha i will not disrespect your jumpshot good sir 😜
After the Starters ended they became the "No Dunks" podcast. I was so sad when Leigh left the pod to pursue his dreams. I'm happy to see him fulfill it though. 😃
U got game bro...come out here to Hawai'i and play...
Let’s do it
