Back in the 1970's, they had what was called "Donkey Basketball". The brought in a bunch of donkeys with rubber shoes to our gymnasium and had a game with teachers vs. parents. The players were responsible for picking up any "droppings" that their own animal left.

Paraplegics and amputees play wheelchair basketball. And a long time ago, I saw a circus act - black kids on unicycles "playing basketball" (zipping around, passing a basketball back and forth, and maybe taking a few shots).
ReplyDeleteDidn't we have donkey basketball at John Adams way back in the day? I know there was wheelchair basketball.
ReplyDeleteI attended Lincoln. I was not paying attention to sports at the time.
