Basketball has been a part of Trevor Lui’s life for as long as he remembers.
Growing up in downtown Toronto with immigrant parents from Hong Kong in the 1980s, Lui spent his Sundays watching the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics on TV with his grandfather. He started playing organized basketball in Grade 9 and was part of some local pickup games in his early 20s. He was invited to a weekly game at the Harbourfront Community Centre in 1998 and, more than two decades later, attends the same game every Tuesday night.
“It’s been our outlet for the past 20-plus years,” says Lui, the co-owner of Superfresh, an Asian night market located in The Annex, and the author of a cookbook.
