Basketball Never Stops

By admin

With all the hype surrounding basketball – free agents, contracts and blah blah blah. I saw this note written by photographer Dan Pak about his latest project with Nike Taiwan. He was sent to Kaohsiung, Taiwan to capture the feeling of basketball through Taiwan’s youth and I just love what he had to say…

…this is the interesting metaphor that I experienced. I had stopped playing basketball over a decade ago. But basketball, indeed, never stops. Because a sport is never just a sport. It’s a culture. And membership to that culture doesn’t expire when your physical capabilities do. Love of that culture doesn’t disappear when there’s a strike or lock out. Understanding of that culture doesn’t depreciate just because times change. And the things you understand about that culture are commonalties that can replace even language.

Check out this beautiful series – here: Nike Taiwan: Basketball Never Stops.
A great reminder about the sport, the culture and the people.
…like many others, I’m still waiting for Dan’s book to come out. 🙂

    Youth is wasted on the young. Found this series Youth is wasted on the young. 

Found this series from when was on location in Cebu for the final episode of a show I was shooting and one of the female contestants helped to take pics before we wrapped. She is a magician with these because I remember all the tan lines all over my body from the outdoor shoot. I learnt so much about cameras and couldn’t wait to forget all about them by the time I was done! 🤣🤣

The best part about being a student in different areas is the humility of learning and getting to a place of wonder and curiosity. As part of my coach training, I have to sit through Mentorship calls and it allows me to evoke more awareness and connect the dots in such a profound way. 

Super grateful for the process and where I’m at with all of this. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A little snippet from my interview with @sumeria.varingill on her podcast: Sumeria’s Harem. 

I’ve been much more reflective as I spend the last few weeks of my 30s looking back at my career that has spanned over 20 years. Aging, gaining experience, acquiring wisdom is all part of this journey we call life. I’m so grateful to have lived such a fruitful life with opportunities from all sides. ❤️

    Congrats to the @afa.community for the launch of t Congrats to the @afa.community for the launch of their Superapp! So proud of @samuelsiew to put this app together to encourage Malaysians to #playsportstogether.  It was also great to hear from YB @hannahyeoh, @alexyoongf1 and @farahann94 about how building communities can help our sports ecosystem in our nation. 

Find a group, find a sport, find a venue all-in-one app! 

So I’ve always played volleyball with friends even after high school (Notorious D.I.G/Bayside Tigers) but when I moved to Malaysia none of my friends played vball, let alone finding at least 11 others to even get a game going. At least now I can find like-minded individuals to play!
