rising star Michaela Onyenwere says she prides herself on being more than just a basketball player.
"Yeah, I think it's just me being a voice kind of for the community. It's not that far from where we stay, where we play. So I can be a representation of, like, basketball players here [who] want to give back to the community … and so when that partnership came, I was on board with that to be able to create new courts," Onyenwere said. "In New York, basketball courts, especially outdoor courts, mean so much to the culture.
"You never think that you have that big of an impact on people's lives until you see a little girl who … looks to me like who she wants to be when she's older," Onyenwere said. Onyenwere played college basketball with the UCLA Bruins after growing up in Colorado, where she mainly played on indoor courts. While the shift in culture after moving to New York City was definitely different, she said it showed her how important outdoor courts are to the people there.
