There’s several basketball content creators who feel like my spiritual brothers and sisters, and The Hooded Hooper is among them. These creators channel the struggles and spiritual quandaries of our lives through the quiet practice of working on their game. Basketball isn’t just a sport you play. Basketball can be a portal that guides you to places where you can ask deeper questions about yourself.

Taweh Browne, aka The Hooded Hooper, taps into that headspace with his POV series, which he films at his neighborhood court in Suwanee, Georgia. Located outside of Atlanta, Peachtree Ridge Park is Browne’s home court. When he wanted to get into content creation in 2022, he specifically looked for a court that was peaceful and offered isolation. It reminds me of the early days of Sacred. I was doing the same thing in 2019; visiting quiet courts so that I could calm my head and meditate by focusing on my form and free throw shooting. My practice in Sacramento gets mirrored years later in Georgia with the Hooded Hooper stating “POV: Shooting is your therapy.” Amen.
