The First Basket
Director: David Vyorst
Country: USA, 2007, Documentary
Duration: 86 Min
Language: English
The First Basket explores the impact that basketball had on Jewish immigrants, as well as the profound influence that unsung Jewish basketball pioneers had on the evolution of basketball, as it grew from a game played with ash-cans on tenement steps to the second most popular sport in the world. The First Basket is the only documentary to comprehensively examine both the role that Jewish players had in the evolution of the game and the impact that basketball played in the assimilation of American Jews.
