Today is Easter Sunday, and if you celebrate the holiday and have kids, you may be watching them go through an Easter basket this morning. I don’t know how your family may do it, but every year on this day for me, the Easter Bunny would leave us a basket of goodies hidden somewhere, and it was me and my siblings jobs to try and find them.
That got me thinking. “Baskets” is a way to refer to made shots in a basketball game. That and the name of the sport in general refers to the fact that literal peach baskets were used as hoops when James Nasmith first came up with the sport.
