BUHAY na buhay ang street basketball sa programa ng Kings of the Court | STR8, sa pakikipagtulungan ni Mr. Pinoy Hoops Mike Swift at local communities sa tsansang maisakatuparan ng kabataan ang pangarap na maging star player.
Sa pakikipagtulungan ng mga local residents, KOTC | STR8 nagsimula mang-ayos para maisaayos ang basketball court na magagamit ng kabataan sa komunidad.
“My love for basketball doesn’t end when playtime is over. It extends to the smell of the ball, the friendships made through teamwork, charming outdoor courts, up to that feeling when you know you’ve improved your game through hardwork, or loss. This love is for the culture, and it extends not only to me, but for everybody who feels the same. This is why I do what I do, for basketball, for the culture,” pahayag ni Project Lead Dwight Aguila ng Kings of the Court | STR8.
Magkakasama at determinado na pininturahan ng bago ang mga basketball courts tampok ang Brgy. “Grabe” Maybungasa Pasig.
“I do what I do because this is where my mind, body and soul want to take me,” sambit ni Swift.
“As Kings of the Court’s core competency, we plan to start holding basketball leagues, clinics, and seminars within these communities so that kids and adults would develop good habits we learn from sports, and to veer away from vices. In addition, it will be our team’s opportunity to transfer knowledge and teach them basketball operations, refereeing, table officiating, etc. in an effort to open employment opportunities for them,” sambit ng KOTC | STR8 Founder Cholo Legisma.
