Always nice to begin the season with a James Naismith tribute; one man, one ball, two baskets, endless entertainment. Rob Rains, co-author of “James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball”, offers a glimpse into the life of bball’s greatgranddaddy, outside of the sports arena. [Writing for the New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/25/sports/basketball/25naismith.html?_r=1&emc=tnt&tntemail1=y), Rob places basketball within the broader context of Naismith’s life, goals, experiences and passions.
