In 1891, James Naismith had just fourteen days to invent an indoor game capable of curtailing his rowdy YMCA members. In a moment of inspiration, he decided to incorporate his favorite elements of the soccer, rugby, and lacrosse to create the game of basketball. Originally established in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America, the NBA formally introduced itself, along with seventeen other franchises in 1949. Since then, the NBA has produced some of the most memorable moments in professional sports history and given us household names like Magic, Michael, Kobe, and LeBron.

Now we can both talk about the Boston teams from the '60's."Jim Conway, Celtics super-fan, Boston, MA "As a Lakers fan, this poster has done wonders in convincing my friends and colleagues that they are the best team in professional sports history. This poster is loaded with all the hard data I need to sell my argument once and for all."Ron Bishop, Santa Ana, California "Shopping for my husband can be really difficult at times, but buying this poster was a no-brainer! He loved it so much that he took it to work to show it off the next day and didn't bring it back for a week. Now, it's on display in our foyer for everyone to see."Michelle Perth, Detroit, Michigan "I'm a physical education teacher and I bought this for my classroom.
