Does Chicago Breed The TOUGHEST Basketball Players? "Heart Of The City: F.I.N.A.O."

- In the 3rd episode of our 4 part "Heart of The City" series we take a look at Chicago, arguably the toughest basketball city in the country to grow up in. We take a look at what some of Chicago's most respected basketball figures have to say.
In the face of this unspeakable tragedy the city has banded together. It's basketball community is extraordinarily tight-knit, and its resolve is proven and emboldened with every passing summer. Everything is on the line on every play...basketball is their escape and 'hoop' is all they know.
Will Bynum, Bobby Simmons, Sonny Parker & Scottie Pippen talk about the struggles hoopers face growing up. The reality out their front door is much different than the realities many of us face on a daily basis. Mentors like Larry Stewart, Mike Irvin, Simeon Coach Rob Smith & Lefty Boyd do their best to keep kids and adults off the street and in the gyms.
The story of Saieed Ivey is unfortunate. With every loss comes a chance to lead those following to a better future. Chareda Carter should be the last mother to tell this story. Failure Is Not An Option, not for those in the city of Chicago or for kids around the world.

Man R.I.P. Saieed Ivey
They should have disabled comments on this one. People are too insensitive to show the level of respect that a video like this deserves.
Gabriel Olvera people always wanna crack jokes to get the most likes
Disabling comments is stupid
Chicago produces great basketball players...but in the last 30 years the best basketball region on planet earth has been Los Angeles and the greater Los Angeles area...if you don't agree with me, feel free to respond.. but i have facts and data to back up my claims...
@@conni70 Chicago have better basketball star talent than LA. One and done players and all. Look at the guards to come out the chi, the PGs. Playground legends, we play in snow and the freezing cold. Y'all city could never be tougher mentally than us. Chicago is a more gritter city, it's just not about stats
P-A-T-R-I-C-K B-E-V-E-R-L-E-Y
Truly a fighter, I miss him with the Rockets 😭

Beautiful Story About Chicago Basketball 🏀 .From Chicago Tru story
Strongly recommend Ballislife to keep producing content like this. Talk about the hoop culture. It would be nice to talk about the hoop culture in other countries. This is big time!
They actually have the toughest players. They come from the hood where they develop their toughness. Respect to those who used it to escape.
Detroit- Defense
New York- Skills
LA- Wont give up
Chicago- Hard playing style
Seattle- Calm style of play
Sean-Micheal Butler edit LA to tall basketball player and rich
Zacharias Brown Harden, Derozan, and Leonard all grew up in Compton (Leonard went to high school in the I.E.) tall yes, but not rich.
BrodieVisions yea my bad
Yo I actually knew Saieed when he came here to LA and the dude can flat out hoop and it's sad to hear what had happened to him #R.I.P. Saieed Ivey
These little documentaries are dope, continue this !
Love this video BallisLife crew. I grew up and played ball in East Harlem, not Chi-town but definitely had our share of challenges no doubt. Much respect to brothers from the Chi, rest assured there is better days ahead...keep pushing forward F.I.N.A.O....Respect to Saieed Ivey's family, Rest In Paradise bro.
Saieed's mother is one of the most wonderful women I've ever had the pleasure to hear to speak and give testimony. Spreading hope and belief in others is a remarkable thing. Good for her.
Great editing!!
Do MORE DOCUMENTARIES
If you live in Chicago and hoop in Chicago...you would also know that we dont breed a lot of players over 6'6...mostly guards
Zacharias Brown tru
Zacharias Brown the highest we go is like 6'3
I'm 6,3 n I'm 13 I'mma prolly be 6,6 freshman year n I'm trying to go for Whitney young
KingSkullGaming _ if you do go there...plz outwork this nigga named Justin Boyd 😂 i knew him from middle school and i couldnt guard him for shit cuz he was 6'2 and i was like 5'5 at the time
I'm from New York and play in New York parks everyday someone gets broken New Yorkers dribbling and flashyness is true

Thank you thus us the best city
You should do that with Paris fr never seen that before
FINAO FOREVA 🙏🏽
I see you coach Stewart!
Chi -town forever the best ballers represent!!!!!
One thing that makes Chicago hoopers tough is that we played ball in some of the worst conditions! I'm talking about in the cold; winter weather, playing on a shoveled out part of the court with snow around you. We played with gloves on. We played with high winds, so we learned to shoot with or against the wind! Ask anybody from Chicago about 21or 32. These games made you develop all the skills necessary to play basketball; dribble, rebound, shoot, play defense, and go to the hoop! 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
I wish you the best momma ivey
