Description

Nominated for the audience awards Skroutz Book Awards 2025.

Can a sport really save the world?
Yes, that sport is basketball.

Starting from his renowned and eponymous course at New York University, professor and author David Hollander offers us a thorough and original analysis of how basketball and the values it embodies can provide solutions to the most critical problems of our time.

NBA and WNBA stars, Hall of Fame members, coaches, and prominent figures from sports and culture with a positive impact on society have participated in the course "How Basketball Can Save the World" and share their own perspective on the power of this game.

From Northern Ireland to South Africa, and from city streetball to the most remote communities, basketball repeatedly proves its power as a tool for peace, unity, and social change.

Even if you have never held a basketball in your hands, the book "How Basketball Can Save the World" will show you that this game is much more than just a sport. It is a model for how we can live, collaborate, and ultimately change the world.

Why We Loved It

  • Offers a completely fresh perspective, connecting the beloved sport of basketball with the most serious issues of our time.
  • It is not just a book about basketball, but a call for thought and action, showing how the values of the game can inspire us.
  • Written by a distinguished NYU professor, whose work led to the establishment of the World Basketball Day by the UN.

This book is for you if…

…you love basketball and want to see how it connects with the world around you, or if you're simply looking for an original and hopeful approach to major social issues.

    Very mediocre and boring for a basketball enthusiast who craves basketball stories and devours hundreds of pages about theory and sociology...

    The positive aspect is that it presents in a very nice way how examples from basketball apply to real life. Perhaps, the last two chapters may seem a bit far-fetched regarding the examples, but overall it is a very good book especially for those who have been involved in team sports, even though it focuses exclusively on basketball.
