As the pandemic raged across the globe, NYU professor David Hollander had the audacity to think — to believe — that a class he would teach could explore society's ills through a single sport: Basketball. Hollander named the course "How Basketball Can Save the World," and posited that the sport, through its easy accessibility and global reach, offered distinct antidotes for modern issues. His class turned into a book — a tribute to the game's inventor James Naismith and his 13 original basketball rules. How Basketball Can Save the World offers and suggests ways the world might apply basketball's values of cooperation and balance to real-world issues (like the evolving global economy and systemic racism). How Basketball Can Save the World published in February of 2023, and is available where books are sold.
