Basketball is booming in Aotearoa. From backyard hoops to packed-out rec centres, more and more Kiwis are picking up the ball, and right at the centre of it all is Triple Threat Basketball: local, fresh, and built for the culture.
Founded by former Tall Black Frank Mulvihill, Triple Threat is more than just a brand. It’s a grassroots movement. A community. A statement. It’s all about giving the next generation of ballers a pathway, with skill, style, and serious purpose.

What Does "Triple Threat" Mean?
In basketball, the triple threat stance gives players three options: shoot, pass, or dribble. But Triple Threat Basketball has taken it to the next level:
Train. Play. Lead.
This isn’t just about what happens on the court, it’s about growing confidence, building leadership, and giving players a sense of identity. It’s a community-led initiative that brings together hoopers from all backgrounds. Born on local courts, designed for the next generation, and driven by heart.

Built by a Baller, for the Next Generation
Triple Threat was started by Frank Mulvihill, a former Tall Black and respected coach. Frank’s seen it all, he’s played at the top level, coached around the motu, and understands just how much raw talent lives in our schools, parks, and suburbs.
Triple Threat is Frank’s way of giving back. His vision is a platform where young Kiwis can not only grow as players but develop as people. It’s about leadership, mana, hustle, and making sure that every kid with a dream has a chance to chase it.
Thanks to Frank’s leadership, Triple Threat has evolved into something much bigger than sport. It’s a movement powered by real experience, genuine passion, and a deep belief in the power of community.

Kit That Speaks for Itself
If you’ve seen the Triple Threat crew out and about, you already know, the gear is clean.
It’s bold graphics, slick fits, and limited drops that reflect the hustle. 
The Triple Threat range brings style and purpose together.
Every piece has a story. Grit. Energy. Respect. And a nod to the grind.

It’s Bigger Than Basketball
What really sets Triple Threat apart is what they’re doing off the court.
They run clinics across Aotearoa, turn up to schools, host open runs, and support tamariki who might not otherwise have the chance to shine. No politics. No barriers. Just a love for the game and a deep drive to give back.
Most of the coaches and mentors are former players, parents, and everyday legends who’ve walked the same path. They don’t just teach hoops, they teach life.

Why RYOS Is Proud to Back Triple Threat
At RYOS, we believe sport is more than competition, it’s identity. It’s how we represent who we are and where we’re from.
Triple Threat is everything we love about sport in Aotearoa: grassroots-driven, unapologetically Kiwi, and built with purpose. It’s not just another brand, it’s ours.
So get amongst it. Grab the gear. And be part of something real.
