PREAMBLE TO “6 FEET NO PRESSURE”
—-


In Chicago, “3 feet no pressure” is often called out in pick-up games to provide ball handlers the ability to create dribble without dealing with a suffocating defense that won’t allow them to advance the ball.

Due to COVID-19 3 feet no pressure has turned into 6 feet as social distancing has taken a toll on the game of basketball.


The Facts: 20-30%* of people with mild symptoms of anxiety and distress seeing reduced levels of anxiety through physical activity. 47%* of the people say they participate in sports for the community.
During the quarentine, I photographed iconic basketball courts in NYC documenting the removal of basketball rims. Afterwords, I spoke with four people engulfed in basketball culture and asked them about the effect that the distance from the game causes them.

“6 Feet No Pressure” was intended to highlight the stories and places impacted by not being able to play basketball and show  how basketball has inspires this generation to come together.
