WEB OF EVIL (& ENNUI): He Shoots, He Scores, He Dies

He Shoots, He Scores, He Dies

This is a thing, we guess.

Benjamin "Ossie" Schectman, a #Knick who is credited with scoring the 1st basket in the NBA in 1946, has died, the team announced. — Ian Begley (@IanBegley) July 30, 2013

Or not exactly. (Facts? Ha. No one is to be trusted.)

[T]he historic bucket [...] might not have come in an NBA game, per se — Schectman's New York Knicks were playing (and would beat) the Toronto Huskies in the inaugural game of the Basketball Association of America, which would become the NBA in 1949 after absorbing the National Basketball League

Very inclusive to beat Canadians in the opener.

I really hope the headline back in '46 was:

"Knicks Knockout Knackered Canucks"
