The Revolution of Basketball

Found February 16, 2011 on Cleveland.com:
No stranger to revolution, the invention of basketball in 1891 changed the world of sports forever. Basketball, continually evolving to keep pace with players’ abilities, also prides itself on community involvement. Nike ran a commercial in the 90s placing the burden of social revolution squarely on the shoulders of gentle Joe Smith (a future Cleveland Cavalier), Jason Kidd, Kevin Garnett, Jimmy Jackson and Eddie Jones, in an attempt to soften the trash-talking, bad boy image of the NBA.
