:rolleyes:

You're a moron.

Upon taking possession of the document, the Booths were shocked to see a 14th and final rule on the back of the second page.

14. No blacks

This should send this thread into overdrive. LMAO

James Naismith (November 6, 1861 – November 28, 1939) was a Canadian sports coach and innovator. Naismith invented the sport of basketball in 1891 and is often credited with introducing the first football helmet. Naismith wrote the original basketball rulebook, founded the University of Kansas basketball program, and lived to see basketball adopted as an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 and as an official event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

lol @ this slaver

As a Mizzou fan, props to KU and the Booth alums to pull this off. When I heard of this story some time ago I was hoping that the KU alums would pull this off.
No other school has as many ties / blood lines to basketball than Kansas, also being since this is where Dr. Naismith lived, coached and now rests, it is only fitting...Its also nice to see these in the midwest instead of in some security deposit box of some Russian billionaire.

There's the proof, fellas - an article written by some random person online who was related to someone who claims to have invented basketball.

You guys are reaching new levels of jealousy, seriously.

If you read the history of basketball you know that this has been discredited.

Great move by my fellow Lawrence High grad.

This is the same guy who gave $300 million to the Univ of Chicago. I heard the largest donation ever given to a business school.

I guess this is KU's T Boone Pickens

Yea, $300m for the Booth School Of Business. Quite a philanthropic gift.

I had this sick vision yesterday before the auction that some MUron booster like Laurie or something would outbid a KU booster... then burn it before a MU/KU homegame or something.

heh
