Bobbito Garcia on NYC Hoops, Hip-Hop, and the Culture That Raised the Game
Hoopsology
In this episode of Hoopsology, Justin is joined by the legendary Bobbito Garcia—DJ, filmmaker, author, and the voice of NBA Street Vol. 2. He breaks down his powerful new memoir “Bobbito’s Book of Bong Bong,” sharing personal stories from the asphalt courts of NYC, the rise of sneaker culture, and how hip-hop and hoops have always moved together.
We dive into:
NYC’s influence on the global game
His experience voicing NBA Street
The untold connection between hip-hop and basketball
Why playground basketball deserves to be archived and respected
How his book became part memoir, part art book, and part history lesson
Hoopsology is presented by Ballislife.
