About the Photos

Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

An "All Star" team

Submitted by itsangelo on Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:01pm.

Chuck would be proud to know we still wear them. Possibly not happy that Nike owns them though. I certainly had no clue that the balls were laced like that. I guess once you get the "feel" of it, you adapt to the shape, and don't dribble on the laces?

Wrong name....

I guess the term "Geek Squad" hadn't be coined yet.

The Magnificent Seven

Submitted by Mr Mel on Mon, 11/03/2014 - 11:19am.

They only needed seven men on the team because the game was much slower then. A Jump Ball after each basket and and almost no physical contact with the opposing players.
