Venice Beach Basketball Photography Print

Venice Beach, CA

Los Angeles has always been more than just a basketball town, it’s a basketball universe. From the Showtime era of Magic Johnson to the unmatched intensity of Kobe Bryant, the city has shaped the sport’s identity on a global level. And it’s not just the Lakers. It’s the high school gyms packed with future stars, the rec league courts buzzing with energy, and the blacktops made legendary in movies like White Men Can’t Jump and Love & Basketball.

This photograph captures a quieter part of that culture. A handmade hoop tucked into the urban sprawl of LA. No crowd, no scoreboard, just the kind of place where the game still breathes in its rawest form. These are the hoops that exist for the love of it, built by hand and kept alive by people who live the sport every day.
