Watch Making It Rain: A Scottish basketball story

Making It Rain – which premiered on Sky Sports in 2019 – shines a light on the untold stories of Scottish basketball.

The roots of the game run deeper in Scotland than you might think.

Alton Byrd and Bobby Kinzer look back on the fierce rivalry between Edinburgh and Falkirk that helped spark a golden era for the sport in the 1980s. Olympian, Kieron Achara, recounts the success of the national team at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

And we hear about Robert Archibald's journey against the odds to become the first Scottish player in NBA history.

Archibald died, aged 39, on January 25. The Paisley-born GB international was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2002 before going on to play for the Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors.

Basketball Scotland's chief executive Kevin Pringle said of Archibald: "He was a wonderful man and a great friend, as well as being a trailblazer and an inspiration to others. Throughout his extraordinary career, he always played with pride and determination, and was always a credit to his country, whether representing Scotland or GB at home or abroad.

"The basketball community has lost a great role model and a true friend, and the thoughts of the whole community are with his family at this difficult time. We will miss him."

Archibald played 44 NBA games at center or power forward and later enjoyed a successful career in Europe with the likes of Valencia and Joventut Badalona as well as representing Great Britain in the 2012 London Olympics.
