Why DC Basketball?
"If New York’s asphalt hoop game has long been known nationally, Washington's, though not exactly a secret has never had a real celebration of its legend." Paul Hendrickson, "Washington Post" STYLE section, "Heroes in High Tops", Aug. 27, 1991
Why is there a virtual museum dedicated to D.C. Basketball? What distinguishes this area from any other basketball hotbed? Why should both local residents and visitors all over the world take an interest in DCBasketball.com? What sets Washington basketball apart? During national broadcasts, on sports talk shows and in films, New York City and Philadelphia basketball are heralded and deservedly so. Yet, for its size Metro Washington has had more influence on the high school, college and professional basketball game than any other basketball hotbed.
