People around the globe play the game of basketball. In Indiana, basketball is part of the culture that bonds generations of Hoosiers. In “Basketball – A Love Story,” I explore that bond from shooting baskets in a barn as a kid to playing on the varsity team to watching a new generation of kids play for the love of the game. Many people will appreciate this story, as basketball really is a game played against oneself.
Originally written in 2016, this lent itself well to an audio story. Pat Wisniewski, documentary film producer of “Everglades of the North,” “Shifting Sands,” and “The Lively One” did the recording and production. The basketball sounds were recorded in the 80 year old barn on the Werner family farm. Click the PLAY arrow above and enjoy.
