Chris asked if we could go to the Basketball Hall of Fame on his Birthday. It is literally 10 min. away. His girlfriend Michelle was coming over so the four of us went.
Meet James Naismith who invented the game at a YMCA in Springfield Ma.
He used a peach basket attached to the wall.
Apparently, he not only was a health & physically conscious man, but also spiritual as well.
He studied medicine, taught, coached and was a National guard Chaplain. (very impressive)
Not bad for a guy from Canada :)
Michelle played basketball in High school so she enjoyed the trip as well.
It's a 3 story circular building, with a court on the bottom floor.
You could spend a year reading all the write up on the Hall of famers.
So much old stuff, this was a women's college basketball uniform.
There was a lot of very cool displays
Globetrotter stuff
Fun stuff :)
Statues
Sneaker flags
Basketball hoops over the years
We had dinner at Outback to celebrate Chris's birthday & Father's Day-
then DQ mint Oreo ice cream cake!
