Nike / Only Basketball – 2023
This idea is born out of a simple truth. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what language you speak, this game gives you a feeling no other can.
Only Basketball captures the unique, universal impact of the game, transcending backgrounds and languages to influence generational culture through athletes.
Basketball’s blend with art is celebrated in our new Nike Basketball platform, launched with a pre-heat film for the 2023 World Basketball Festival. This film, narrated by the culturally insightful journalist Scoop Jackson, showcases how art and performance intersect with basketball culture.
