A strange little side quest
A little context makes Basketball Blocks more fun to place on the gaming map. Men's basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women's basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Basketball Blocks feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
