About

Journey of the Overthinking Hooper is a catchphrase (meant to read like the title of a chapter in a book) that references the "overthinking hooper," a basketball player who overthinks while playing the game, causing them to perform poorly. The phrase became popularized on TikTok as a spam comment in May 2023 after a user commented with it under a video asking, "If your life was a book, what chapter would this be called."

Origin

Videos about the "overthinking hooper" character type, meaning a basketball player who overthinks their play during a game, causing them to play poorly, started to grow in virality on TikTok[1] throughout late 2022 and early 2023. For example, on August 30th, 2022, TkToker[2] @shimisora posted a video about the overthinking hooper, garnering over 459,000 views in nine months (shown below, left).

On or around April 29th, 2023, a TikToker commented "Journey of the Overthinking Hooper" in response to a now-deleted video by TikToker @hsmq asking, "If your life was a book, what chapter would this be called." On May 15th, TikToker[2] @zayadrey posted a video in which he reads comments under the video, reading the hooper comment, garnering over 2.8 million views in two weeks (shown below, right).
