    Took forever for basketball to become popular in the US. Better late than never. Too bad Mr. Naismith was not around to see his sport take off.

    Thank God for Mr. Naismith and the YMCA.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't basketball really take off after the double-dribble rule was implemented?

    Wasn't the first pro basketball league formed because hockey owners needed something to fill up their arenas on nights off?
