corey stanley on 03 Dec 09What i noticed most about, "Diversions" was the way the game used to be back in the 50's and 60's when it came to the shoes they wore. This really stood out to me because the stars of the 50's and 60's wore flat little sandle like shoes with a little piece of rubber underneath for about 10-15 years, until sneakers were made. "Basketball was invented in 1891, by Dr. James Naismith. A physical education teacher at the YMCA in Springfield Massachusetts. More than a decade past before any sporting goods companies started to market shoes specifically made for the new game."
