Basketball

Basketball a game that Dr. Joe Naismith invented back in 1891 and first played in Springfield Mass. using a soccer ball and a couple of old wooden peach baskets. Wow, what a difference in the way the game is played today, with various level of players and leagues being played throughout the world. From Playground to the NBA and the various Olympic Teams.
Well, one version of the way the game is played is called "REZBALL", and you can find this style of basketball being played by NDN's on Reservations all across the country. Cousins growing up with each other and playing the game with each other. Knowing each others moves and knowing where each other will be, is that unspoken communication that they say some athletes have and is displayed when "REZBALL" is played at its best on Reservations across the country.
Basketball for some people is just a simple game, and for some it's simple therapy. But, for some it's much more than a game, it's a way of LIFE. You eat, sleep, think, drink, basketball.
For me, I am one of the guys who does everything BASKETBALL.
