Jamad Fiin is a US Muslim basketball star that became an inspiration for many, launching new camps for basketball to change the game for young athletes, especially Muslim girls.
In 2020 a video of Jamad showing off her dribbling skills went viral on Twitter, gaining over a million views in a day.
Many people on Twitter admired her ball-handling skills. The video was shared by several sports-oriented Twitter accounts, including Overtime and the Bleacher Report.
“Younger girls started showing up [at gyms] and I didn’t want to play against those younger girls. So, that’s when I decided to teach them instead and I started to show them how to dripple, how to shoot and things like that. That’s when it developed into: ‘I can be a trainer, I can coach these girls,” she said.
