Did You Know? 🏀
This page is all about dropping cool basketball facts you can flex with your friends. Whether it’s some wild stats or crazy stories from the court, this is where you’ll find the stuff that makes you go, “Wait, what?!”
Here’s a taste of what you might see:
-
Longest NBA Game Ever: The longest game in NBA history lasted 6 overtimes! It happened in 1951 between the Indianapolis Olympians and the Rochester Royals. Final score? 75–73. Imagine being a fan at that game—your snacks probably ran out before halftime!
-
Shortest NBA Player Dunk: Spud Webb, who was just 5’7” (shorter than most of us), won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 1986. Let that sink in—dude could fly.
-
Basketball in Space: In 2006, NASA astronauts actually played basketball in space! It was super slow-mo because, you know, no gravity.
-
First Dunk in the NBA: Dunking wasn’t always part of the game. The first dunk in NBA history came in 1946 by Joe Fortenberry. Back then, it was called a “dunk shot.”
-
The Weirdest Game Rule: In the early days of basketball, a referee had to toss the ball back in after every basket. Imagine how slow games must’ve been—talk about cardio for the refs!
