Director Statement

Having always played football and cricket throughout my childhood I never really tried any other game. On joining a basketball group at the age of 16 I became aware of how difficult this sport is and what all it takes for athletes to achieve what they want. On visiting the Mastan YMCA. Ground as a friend’s team was playing against Mastan Ymca, I went to support. And to my surprise,Nagpada a place about which I have only read bad about in the newspaper or seen stand up comedy about Nagpada,I was stunned to see the players from Nagpada thrashing my friends team which included a few state level players. I was curious to know about when,why and how did this basketball culture emerged in Nagpada. On researching I found out that there was a point when plenty of teams used to play in Nagpada. However only two till today practice and are yet engaged in their good old rivalry. With knowing more about how basketball has improved the lives of people of Nagpada, I sensed this is a story which needs to be told.
