    On December 21, 1891, the first game of basketball was played and thus we should celebrate!

    Inspired by the @ProHoopsHistory twitter account:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">If you could pinpoint THE moment when you knew you loved basketball what would be?

    Edit: lots of great responses to the post above

    Well, hell. For me growing up in the cornfields of Illinois, in the heart of bball country, that's like asking a Texan when they knew they loved Friday Night Lights of football. We were raised to love it as a religion and metaphor for life, at an early age.

    So, probably the first time my brothers took me to a Silver Streaks home game in brutally cold weather, to walk into a cozy warm, fervently loud HS basketball arena with all the fan fare of a IU game.

    When I watched Hakeem play.

    I also found basketball a lot more natural to play than baseball
