Judith 'Mama' Blair Basketball Courts

The Judith Blair Memorial Basketball Courts feature a shade canopy with lighting and a scoreboard. The courts are named in honor of Judith Blair, mother of former basketball star Joseph Blair. Blair’s legacy extends far beyond his days as a University of Arizona standout. A key member of the 1994 Final Four squad, Blair’s journey took him from the Seattle SuperSonics and the Harlem Globetrotters to a decorated international career as an All-EuroLeague selection. Now a seasoned NBA coach with a resume including the Rockets, 76ers, Wizards, and Vipers, he remains deeply rooted in Southern Arizona. For over two decades, Blair has mentored local youth through free basketball camps that prioritize leadership, life skills, and opportunity. His mother, Judith, was a beloved community member and leader. She passed away in 2019 at age 71.

The $575,000 cost of the project was secured through both public and private investment. Some $232,000 came from the City of Tucson's general fund, while the Ward 2 office allocated another $250,000. More than $100,000 came from private donations, and fundraising is ongoing.
