Before he wrote his name in sports history, he unleashed his grit in the Elks Hoop Shoot.

Chris Mullin, sponsored by Brooklyn, N.Y., Lodge No. 22, made 23 of 25 free throws at the 1974 Elks Hoop Shoot National Finals and won a national championship—but that was just the beginning of his basketball journey.

Mullin went on to play 16 seasons in the NBA, where he was a five-time all-star and four-time All-NBA selection. He also won two Olympic gold medals, including one with the 1992 “Dream Team.”

Since he retired from professional basketball, Mullin has been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (twice), College Basketball Hall of Fame, and of course, the Elks Hoop Shoot Hall of Fame.

Mullin is just one of many incredible Elks Hoop Shoot alumni! View the other Elks Hoop Shoot Hall of Famers at https://elkshoopshoot.org/hall-of-fame/

Congratulations to former Elks Hoop Shoot National Finalist Ebuka Okorie for becoming a first-round pick!

Last night, Okorie was selected 17th overall in the NBA Draft. But before his name was in lights, he stepped up to the line in the Elks Hoop Shoot. Okorie, sponsored by Dover, N.H., Lodge No. 184, advanced all the way to the National Finals in 2018, where he finished third after a shoot-off that lasted 30 extra free throws.

Since then, Okorie has only continued to unleash his grit. After being named New Hampshire’s Gatorade Player of the Year in high school, Okorie attended Stanford University, where he earned First-Team All-ACC honors, finished seventh nationally in scoring, and shot 83% from the free throw line. Now he'll play for the Detroit Pistons!

Do you know someone who wants to unleash their grit like Ebuka Okorie? Tell them about the Elks Hoop Shoot! For more information, visit https://www.elks.org/hoopshoot/
