COURTING GREATNESS

A basketball court may have boundaries, but the sport itself knows no bounds. It is one of the most democratic sports; all you need is a ball, a pair of sneakers, and a surface. Courting Greatness is a community initiative by Reebok that celebrates prospective players through empowering imagination. Its purpose is to facilitate the creation of playing space anywhere on the planet. Killer crossovers, pocket passes and wicked jumpshots the world over… our mission is to make sure these moves always have a home. Perhaps your local park is always too crowded, or perhaps it doesn’t exist - through this digital tool, any empty wall, telephone pole, fence or vacant lot can become a basketball court. It is an invitation to create, and in doing so, be great. Creativity unlocks movement. Imagination becomes greatness. If basketball is life, then live wherever you choose. This is Courting Greatness.

Show us what you got #CourtingGreatness.

ARTIST COURTS

Reebok has partnered with three contemporary artists to use the Courting Greatness digital tool to build their own DIY court in their home town. Each unique court operates as both art experience and an active playing space. Visitation is open to the public; click on each court below for more information and be sure to check back as new courts are unveiled across the country.

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 - Friday, November 12, 2021

Born in West Philadelphia, Gianni Lee is a multidisciplinary artist who blurs the lines of art forms by actively engaging in street art, surrealist painting, fashion design and music production. For his Courting Greatness installation, Gianni was inspired by the street courts that can be found across the city, full of young players honing their basketball skills. The installation pulls colors from the Question Mid Class of ’16, which is directly inspired by the teams Iverson played for during his Hall of Fame-career.

The court was built with the same materials that would have been available to Gianni as a kid, keeping it simple with wood and house paint.

Equipped with three hoops and a crate, the court encourages visitors to interact with the piece and make their own sense of how to play. Just bring your game, no point system or playing style is wrong.

LOS ANGELES, CA

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 - Friday, November 12, 2021

Rick Dove is a Los Angeles native who has been creating art since he was a young kid. For Dove’s Courting Greatness installation, the artist took cues from the junkyard-style courts where a young Shaquille O’Neal would hoop before becoming one of the greatest centers of all time. Using materials like cement, plywood, rebar, and metal fencing, Dove wanted to reflect Shaq's dominance and literal impact on the game of basketball with a cement backboard featuring everlasting cracks. The shattered effect symbolizes the many backboards and teams O’Neal destroyed during his time in the city, and the colors pay tribute to the team he won three consecutive championships with, further establishing O’Neal’s status as an all-time great.
