Ben Osborne, a longtime SLAM contributor and former Editor-in-Chief of 2007-2016, has a new book on basketball art and culture, and copies are right here. There's an article on it in SLAM 256 if you want the backstory first; the publisher's own description sits below.
Courtside Candy treats basketball as a cultural force that goes well past the sport, shaping art, fashion, street art, urban interventions, urbanism, architecture and graphic design. The narrative does its work visually, zeroing in on how the game acts as a creative catalyst inside specific subcultures. By tracking where basketball meets those forms of expression, Courtside Candy shows how the sport both shapes and reflects the character of the places it thrives in.
Basketball keeps intertwining with other kinds of creativity, and that's where innovation happens in spaces where art, architecture and culture converge. What the book documents is connection and transformation, with a focused look at how the sport inspires across disciplines.
