OUR STORY

Behind the Scenes

Had 2 Basketball was a vision that our Founder had and pushed to bring it to past. 

​

Had 2 started from an idea that was created by Former NBA star Corie Blount, which happens to be the older brother of our Founder.

​

Our Founder wanted to start a program to help upcoming basketball players develop their skills and hone in on the untapped talent and love for the game.

​

After seeing so many program fail the kids they serve, He said he "had too" put a program together.
