#8  That ball has a seam like a football! Dribbling must have been interesting.

He invented the game of basketball at age 30 in 1891. He wrote the original basketball rule book and founded the University of Kansas basketball program.

#5   Wasn't B-Ball invented by some white guy in Ma?

I don’t know who invented the game, but back before it was a Black thing, it was a Jewish thing — universally understood as belonging to ethnicities that were scrappy, quick thinking and intelligent, and ungentlemanly — sort of a physical version of chess. It is still popular with the menfolk in Jewish community centers around the country.

#3  Police are working to identify the suspects.

I'll give you guys a hint or two - there are fifteen suspects and the coach has a list of their names.
