A 501c3 non-profit. Organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and sharing the extraordinary basketball history of the Bronx.
For generations, the Bronx has produced legendary players, coaches, officials, mentors, community leaders, and contributors who have helped shape the game of basketball. Our mission is to make sure their achievements, sacrifices, and stories are remembered and passed on to future generations.
But our mission goes beyond honoring the past.
Through youth mentorship, education, basketball programs, community events, and partnerships, we are using the power of basketball to inspire young people, strengthen our community, and create opportunities for the next generation.
Derek Doward Founder/CEO.
Now, we are preparing for the next chapter in our journey: The Bronx Basketball Legacy Center.
Our vision is to establish a permanent home for Bronx basketball history—a place where our Hall of Famers can be honored, our stories can be preserved, and our young people can learn, grow, and dream.
The Bronx Basketball Legacy Center will bring together history, education, mentorship, basketball, and community under one roof.
This is more than a building.
It will be a home for our history.
A center for our community.
An investment in our youth.
And a legacy for generations to come.
The Vision starts now.
Join us as we build the Bronx Basketball Legacy Center and create something the Bronx can call its own.
Connect young athletes with Hall of Famers, coaches, educators, and community leaders who provide guidance, encouragement, and life lessons.
Our Empower Our Youth initiative connects young people with positive role models, life-changing experiences, and programs that help them succeed both on and off the court.
Whether you’re a parent, coach, educator, volunteer, mentor, or supporter, you can help empower the next generation.
Together, we can honor the past while creating a brighter future for Bronx youth.
