In this short promotional video, Hector Perdomo, representing the Naismith International Basketball Foundation, speaks from Orlando, Florida. He gives a shout‑out to Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, and shares his personal testimony that basketball "saved his life"—getting him out of trouble, leading to a long marriage, two children, and a lifelong love of the game. Perdomo then launches a community campaign: viewers are asked to create a brief video answering three specific questions—(1) Who invented basketball? (2) What has basketball done for you? (3) What will you do for basketball?—and post the videos on the Naismith Foundation Facebook page (facebook.com/NaismithFoundation). He hints that participants may win a surprise or receive a call, and ends with an enthusiastic encouragement to keep shooting and enjoy the sound of a swish. The video serves both as a tribute to Dr. Naismith and a call for grassroots engagement to celebrate and sustain the sport.
