OT: NYC Basketball 1939

[Colbert17!]

Found this today. Highlights of a double header at the Garden. CCNY/Oregon and St. John's/Northwestern.
Some of the shots these guys took were pretty wild. Also look at some of the gyrations of the ref in the second game on the right side of the screen.

They seemed to play defense like the Washington Generals.

I just picked up a book about the CCNY point shaving scandal but haven’t read it yet. Working on another one right now.

Some pretty crisp passing displayed!

Also noticed that no one could dribble with their left hand.

Some 3-point range shooting.

Amazing how allowing players to carry has changed dribbling. I know dribbling rules have evolved but no one would be able to dribble back them. They’d all be called for a carry. Also weird shooting motions back them. Like on overhand sorta underhand technique.

The dribbling at the end is like Stanley from the office

Gotta love the 2 handed set shot! I remember those...

They dribbled exclusively at 12 o’clock. Nowadays as long as you don't dip below 4:30 & 7:30 you’re fine.
