The Secret Relationship Between Blacks And Jews
Heh, the conversation about that fake all-white basketball league (and subesequent questions over whether Jews would get to play) got me thinking about the bygone era when Jews ran this thing:
Sure the dude that invented basketball was Canadian, but there was a time when Jews dominated basketball the way they now dominate media and finance. And world governments. OK, I'm kidding about world Jew domination, but I'm not kidding about basketball. In fact, the first basket scored in theNBA was on November 1, 1946 byOssie Schectman of theNew York Knickerbockers against theToronto Huskies . Schectman and his teammatesSonny Hertzberg ,Stan Stutz ,Hank Rosenstein ,Ralph Kaplowitz ,Jake Weber , and Leo "Ace" Gottlieb went on to win the opening game 68 - 66.
This, of course, is a favorite of mine:
New York Daily News sports editor Paul Gallico wrote in the mid 1930s that basketball "appeals to theHebrew with hisOriental background [because] the game places a premium on an alert, scheming mind and flashy trickiness, artful dodging and general smartalecness." We see how qualities such as cunning and wiliness were posited as the keys to Jewish basketball success and how these kinds of statements were indicative of early 20th centuryAmerica .
Heh "scheming mind." Here's a trailer from the film, The First Basket.
