NBA legend Kevin Garnett wants to expand the Hoop It Up basketball tournament to more cities in the U.S. and bring it to Africa. “I want to take it to every city in America,” Garnett says. “Can’t wait to take Hoop It Up to Africa. I want to take Hoop It Up’s sister company, Kick It, to Africa.” The NBA Hall of Famer acquired Hoop It Up, a grassroots 3-on-3 basketball tour, in 2019. The legendary tournament has been around since 1989. As the new owner, KG is restoring the community aspect of the sporting company. 3-on-3 basketball is now an Olympic sport. Garnett also speaks about the growing interest in the street style sport of basketball. He hosted the Hoop It Up Juneteenth Jamboree for this year’s championship round at Marietta High School in Atlanta. BNC airs the live broadcast.
