Photographs of basketball in Vietnam

Vietnamese Basketball Culture

When you think about the humble beginning of basketball by Dr. Naismith back in 1891, it’s mind blowing to see how far the game has come. While there have been monumental economic changes with shoe contracts and television coverage, the basics of the game are still unchanged. A hoop is still a hoop. But the sport, an American original, has influenced people all over the world. After ten years of working on this project, there’s one line that seems to reoccur - “basketball is everywhere”. Truly everywhere. Even Vietnam. Which is particularly fascinating when you stop to consider the tumultuous relationship we once shared with them.
