Portland area store celebrates Blazers memorabilia and basketball culture

From Damian Lillard to Scottie Pippen, Portland has always been a basketball town. And one shop in the Hawthorne District aims to spread that love even further. Back to The Basket, a retail shop owned by Grand Ronde tribal member Troy Douglass, opened in the middle of the pandemic. The shop aims to cultivate a space that connects to the inner-child basketball fan. It offers apparel, collectibles, basketball items and more.
