Kentuckiana, Basketball and all that Noise

sponsored by

September 6 - October 27, 2001

Basketball, a game invented by James Naismith with a soccer ball and a peach basket in 1891, is an inescapable part of Kentuckiana’s social fabric, a part of the region’s most passionate pastime and heated topic of debate. 

It represents a slice of Kentuckiana's social fabric, right up there with horseracing, bourbon and the Indy 500. From the American Basketball Association's Kentucky Colonels to the heated rivalry between U of L and UK, our basketball heritage is built on the persistence of loyal fans, the doggedness of local heroes, and some really superb ball playing!

 We felt that what better way to celebrate Kentucky traditions then by pairing together two of our most recognizable of exports:  art and our own brand of hoopla fanaticism.
