Streak Rush Hoops

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Streak Rush Hoops sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. The earliest basketball games used peach baskets, and Naismith wrote 13 original rules for the new indoor sport. The same trail leads to another fact: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
