Storyline

On 13 July 2025 Beats N Buckets premiered — Germany’s first major crossover of basketball and hip-hop. Venue: BMW Park Munich, home of Bayern Baskets. On the court: the ASB GlassFloor, an LED glass surface that turns the arena into a stage.

Eight teams, rappers as captains, pros and former BBL players on the floor. Plus live acts, dunks, crowd — and Franz Wagner on site as ambassador. Enissa Amani hosted; UFA Documentary livestreamed. It was about community, street culture and the moment sport and music share the same room.

I was there with the camera: court, acts, atmosphere — including WizTheMc on stage. Action and emotion without getting in the way — selects for web, social and whatever should stay from that day.
