In this brief promotional video, Hector Perdomo, representing the Naismith International Basketball Foundation, delivers an enthusiastic shout‑out to Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. He shares a personal testimony that basketball saved his life, kept him out of trouble, and shaped his family. Perdomo then challenges viewers to answer three questions—who invented the game, what basketball has done for them, and how they will help continue the sport—and to post short videos on the foundation’s Facebook page (Facebook.com/NateSmithFoundation). He hints at possible rewards or follow‑up contact, and closes with an encouraging “keep shooting” message.
