The First World Basketball Day
December 21st, 2023 — Forever
A monumental moment in basketball history unfolded on December 21st, 2023—yet most of the world remains unaware of how it came to be, or what it aims to achieve, until now.
December 21st is an international holiday officially recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2023.
This historic moment was made possible by the vision of professor David Hollander, a world-renowned author and basketball pioneer in academia.
We were granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access as World Basketball Day went from being an improbable idea to being celebrated for the first time inside the UN.
We aim to educate and inspire future generations about the true origins and significance of World Basketball Day.
