Wow, as someone who loves basketball so much this is gotta be a hooper's dream. You got them old school hoops, and then, an NBA regulation court with three three-point lines (high school, international/FIBA/college, NBA). I really, really wanna visit this museum so bad, but I'm from the Philippines, a basketball-loving country.
I’m not sure if you skipped over some of the exhibits and legendary players memorabilia? When I was there in the summer of 2012 their was tons of cool memorabilia and historic things to look at. It looks like they have updated the broadcasting exhibit. As well it seems they have removed many show cases and other interactive things and replaced them with video screens. Interesting video
Thanks for watching. I'm pretty sure they update things regularly... lots of stuff with Giannis Antetokounmpo ans Steph Curry... that almost certainly wasn't in the Museum a decade ago. It was a surprise to me (having never been before) how much focus there was on modern basketball - including current NBA player who aren't yet in the Hall of Fame.
Im going tomorrow, and im excited. I have to say it doesn't seem like a museum as much as it is a marketing tool. If they are not in the Hall of Fame yet, they should not be mentioned at all. There should be more older stuff and very little new stuff, as this is what a Hall of Fame is.

@@bradball yes for sure. when i was there , little was focused on modern basketball.
It seems more like a marketing tool geared toward young kids.

I hope your guys also got over to Holyoke to the Volleyball Museum

Do they provide basketballs?
Yes, plenty of basketballs there to use and shoot.
Does it still have the free throw blue screen game?
I believe that's gone.
Not surprised. It was very old technology but it is the only thing I remember from when my dad and brother and I went back in the mid 90s
I when there it was so fun!!
Glad you had a fun time!
How much to get in?
Good kid... good pop
Thanks for your kind comment.
Do they have basketballs there for you
Yes... they have plenty of basketballs available. You can shoot around all you want - but they don't watch anyone playing a competitive game.
