An "All Star" team

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?

The Magnificent Seven

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.
