WWNT? Happy birthday basketball!
What Would Naismith Think? Today is the birthday of basketball. Dr. James Naismith put up the peach baskets on this day 117 years ago. A soccer ball was actually used at the time which is ironic because professional soccer wishes it had the popularity of basketball in the United States. I wonder what the Canadian clergyman think of the economics, athleticism, and "Madness" the game has eveolved into? I would like to thank him for this great game and hope at least one college or pro team wins with a point total of 117 tonight!

Basketball... one of the many sports with a YMCA connection. I learned a lot the last year working for the YMCA. Looking forward to more posts from you in the New Year!
