Finding new and inventive ways to deal with an abundance of extra time on his hands, Kieran Donaghy has brought something new to the idea of at-home sporting challenges.
Although he is best known for his exploits with Kerry's Gaelic footballers, the ties that bind Kieran Donaghy to basketball may arguably be a little stronger.
If his most recent home-video is anything to go by, it has had a lasting impact indeed.

With just a hoop, his basketball and an unforgettable scene from White Men Can't Jump, Kieran Donaghy is - in his own words - cracking up.
As sport has come to a stand-still across the world, professional athletes have been attempting all manner of sporting challenges. Yet, Donaghy's introduction of an acting element might catch on!

Four times an All-Ireland winner with Kerry, when it came to deciding upon his top five sporting documentaries for Off the Ball, basketball was at the centre of all but one of Kieran Donaghy's choices.
Fans of The Last Dance will also be interested to know that Donaghy has teamed up with Off The Ball to record a reaction podcast to each episode of the documentary series as they drop in Ireland.
