Basketball in Lithuania: A Religion or a Sport?

Sadaf travelled to the capital city of Lithuania to find out the true meaning behind this game.

This mini-documentary includes interview bites with Legendary Baskebtall player Šarūnas Marčiulionis- the first European ever to be accepted into the NBA, beginning with Oakland’s Golden State Warriors- and a visit to The Šarūnas Marčiulionis Basketball Academy, where boys of all ages are striving to reach the basketball dream.

Leave no genre of the game unrecognized; catch a glance into the court of one of Vilnius’s number one Wheelchair Basketball teams, and hear from street-basketball player “Skelling”, as he tells the story of how streetball changed his life.

Watch the video and decide for yourself; basketball in Lithuania, a religion or a sport?
