FLOATER: Blurring Basketball Lines (Full documention in progress 🚧)

Co-published by Chinatown Baketball Club and linlin Plum

Swiss binding, 6.25 x 9 inches, 380 pages
October 2025




FLOATER: Blurring Basketball Lines documents the basketball aesthetics, philosophies, and personal narratives that have emerged from CBC’s weekly runs at New York’s Columbus Park since 2019. 

The book traces how the club has cultivated collective creativity over five years of collaborative poster art, graphics, and events—addressing questions such as: Is there an alternative, distinctly Asian (diaspora) way of experiencing basketball? Could there be a basketball aesthetic rooted in Asian (diaspora) that exists outside mainstream basketball culture?
