In what is the first basketball-focused campaign on TikTok in the UK, BE and the BBL are inviting basketball lovers to share their best basketball content on TikTok.
"Our team have been using TikTok to share basketball content to a new audience and we've been encouraged to see it getting a great response.
"We're seeing great videos being shared by fans, content-makers and teams across the sport and would encourage everyone who loves the game in Britain, whether your thing is NBL, BBL, 3x3, the national teams or up-and-coming young talent, to use the hashtag to celebrate it."
