A Labyrinth of Wanderings

Urbanization and the Origins of Basketball

Whenever I witness games in a church league, I feel that my vision, almost half a century ago, of the time when the Christian people would recognize the true value of athletics, has become a reality.

—JAMES NAISMITH

When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air, flying, floating, elevated above the floor, levitating, the way oppressed peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.

—KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR
