The origin story was told back in 2011, when the gym was still a warehouse with a concrete floor and a single hoop. That article, “Kids Who Love Basketball Find a Home at a Local Warehouse Turned Gym,” was originally published in 2011 and now lives in our Time Capsule archive, where we keep early photos, old articles and Shorecrest footage. Its scale figures belong to 2011, so please treat them as history and ask us for current details.
