Thank god for Kenny Sailors !! If not we'd all be shooting like netball players 🤣🤣
Flips to crowd pretty much everyone is wearing suits.
Those first two shots would of been threes in todays game.
It’s weird not seeing basket ball black dominated
They shoot gay
They are way better than I thought they'd be. They dribble way out front and shoot from the chest, but their passing is on point!
they playing like the harlem globe trotters 💀💀
Wht ball they use ?? in 1939
the shooting form is off* and it's crazy how long ago this was. And I'm here in 2022 !
they only dribble on their right hand lol
0:26 logo threes before there were logos?
I love how everybody in the crowd is wearing suits
Coach: shoot gayer I said!
@0:19 that rim and net is so beautiful i remember an ancient run down but used to be fancy arena in my neighborhood had that thin rim and long nylon net just like that
Only right handed dribbling
Nice video
only white players that explains a lot 😂

That throw
the lads from illinois are of to a spring broad start ah yes
I’ve been shooting incorrectly my whole life
They look like a bunch of 15 year olds who hit their growth spurt too quickly
They all shot like Shawn Marion
You know how fun it would be to play in every decade.
dang why were the knicks good back then
I can’t get over how bad their handles are! Makes you think if it’s because they didn’t have as much free time to practice dribbling with basketball being more of a “hobby” than the sport it is now
This is at MSG
Damn, look at those shooting!! Hahaha awesome
I would love to just cross one of them up to see the reaction lol
When everything wasnt about dribbling
So basically before the 1950s, nobody really had shooting mechanics, but it's interesting when it goes in
If kyrie played during this era he’d be arrested for witchcraft
Every modern dribble would be considered a travel or carry in those days.
steph would be god in tis tme period
I would’ve dropped 100 points a game
This isn't first ever basketball. The first basketball game(s) had bo back boards
Robert Horry would have 14 rings in this era
They seem to be playing a hot potato game
No sets of play… Just pass then shoot as you can.
Davis bertans would've killed it back then
The jump shot tho
It's pretty cool how this Canadian Sport is still being played today
3 points doesnt exist ??
Im dropn 80pts a game in this league. Smh why couldn’t i had been born a hundred years ago smhhhhh
Steph Curry will be common in this era. Look at those long range shots 🤣
This is some of the good YouTube and technology has provided us with I love old media as such.
This one of the Bruh Moments In Basketball History
woahhh
Bro I'd be like Lebron James in his prime on a kindergarten playground
Theyre cash from like 30 feet wtf😭
