Chet Holmgren and JD Sports US Team Up to Open Free Community Basketball Court: ‘It Shouldn’t Cost Anything to Play Basketball’

Oklahoma City Thunder’s rising star, Chet Holmgren, isn’t just draining threes on the court – he’s making a slam dunk for the community! Partnering with the Thunder organization and JD Sports US, Holmgren recently opened his first community basketball court.

This isn’t just about bricks and backboards. Holmgren, a towering rookie himself, remembers the thrill of playing on public courts. His aim is simple: provide free and easy access to the sport he loves for as many kids as possible.

“It means something to come out and do something like this,” Holmgren said at the court’s opening. Seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces is what truly fuels his passion for this project.

This is just the first quarter for Holmgren’s vision. He hopes to open many more courts, fostering a love for basketball and creating opportunities for young players to develop their skills.

This court is a testament to Holmgren’s dedication to his community and his commitment to inspiring the next generation of basketball stars. Stay tuned to see where Holmgren takes his court-building game next!
