Jordan Brand

Take it From LA

An love letter to basketball from the cities that push it forward.

 
 
 
 
“The people out here don’t just take something from the game, they also give something back to it.”
— Jordan Ligons
 
 
 

BaCKGROUND

Jordan Brand was looking to inspire and connect basketball fans through regional stories in the cities that push the game forward — starting with LA.

Idea

Take it from LA

A series of films following host Jordan Ligons on her mission to find the people and places who inspire baseball culture in LA.

 
 
 
We all come together for one love — the passion for the game.
— Tenesha Ware
 
 
 
 
“We are the fashion. We’ve created it.”
— Bephie Gibbs
 
 
 
 
“All aspects of basketball — from the way they play, their style, you know to the way Russ dresses — all that kinda ties into art.”
— Gustavo Zermeño Jr
 
 
 
 
“You wanna be talented, but you got to have drive and have heart.
— Chris Young
