 asketball Heritage Association (NBHA) will be presenting a panel discussio
 n on “Building Perseverance: How Basketball Teaches Nikkei Cultural Valu
 es” California State University\, Fullerton women’s basketball head co
 ach Jeff Harada\, USC senior guard Alyson Miura and Terasaki Budokan staff
  member Kim Kawasaki. Chris Komai\, former sports editor for the Rafu Shim
 po and a current Board member for the Nisei Athletic Union (NAU)\, will mo
 derate the panel discussion and provide a short overview of the history of
  Japanese American community basketball.\n\nNBHA\, which was organized by 
 leaders of several local Japanese American community basketball organizati
 ons to address issues concerning bad behavior by teams\, inadequate coachi
 ng and a lack awareness of the community’s history\, emphasize the conne
 ctions between organized basketball and traditional Japanese cultural valu
 es. The organization believes that JA community basketball was a vehicle f
 or the community elders to help transmit their values to the younger gener
 ations. But today’s participants and their families are unaware of this 
 history and are disconnected from the original purpose of the basketball l
 eagues.\n\n \n\nhttps://www.jci-gardena.org/gvjci-upcoming-events.html\n
