Some dude on twitter yesterday posted beautiful footage of the past.
The film is in surprisingly good shape and shows a glimpse at an era of basketball that is as you’d expect, quite different from what we watch now. The bucket free throws are a hoot, and as the tweet states, some of the shots are like, “WHAT THE HELL”. Honestly, this is what it looked like when I tried playing basketball in my young days. I just ran around and sometimes threw the ball wildly at the basket. Sometimes I shot from the chest. And although I didn’t see it, sometimes I’d kick a guy’s ankles together as he ran by me.
