From the heart-pounding surround sound “Big Shots” theater to state-of-the-art interactive displays, the attraction has something for basketball lovers of all ages. Fans can enjoy rare memorabilia such as the jersey Wilt Chamberlain wore when he scored 100 points and the piece of floor where Michael Jordan took his last shot and more. Visitors can see the greatest players, craziest games and most inspiring coaches come to life in HHX.
Broken into six distinct zones, the Hoop Hall Experience is the ultimate basketball expedition:
