Basketball Present

the term "Basketball-Present" was coined by Benjamin F. McMurry III, as a term used to describe a present that is given to someone else but ultimately meant for your self. - The term originated from a story in which the creator of the term (Benjamin F. McMurry) gave his father, (who was in no way affiliated with sports) a basketball for his Christmas gift. Ben's father of course had no use for the Basketball, so it inevitably returned back to him (Ben).

fundamental basketball

What your racist uncle says what the issue is with basketball while watching an NBA game. It’s a dog whistle meaning that they don’t like the black players. They usually idolize Larry Bird.

Uncle JimBob: The problem with the NBA is that they don’t focus on fundamental basketball. That’s why college is better.
