The Deal
- $36 for a 30-minute basketball-skills session ($75 value)
During one 30-minute basketball-skills session at Dallas Diesel Basketball Club, you’ll learn that skill and teamwork make up the bulk of what helps athletes win a game—but the court itself matters, too. In an American Basketball Association game in 1967, Indiana was down by two points against Dallas with one second left to play. With no time to do anything else, point guard Jerry Harkness caught an inbound pass and hurled the ball the length of the court, banking it off the glass and into the net. Relieved that he’d kept his team alive for overtime, Harkness started walking to the bench to prepare when officials interceded to inform him that his 92-foot desperation heave was a game-winner. He was, in fact, almost 70 feet behind the league’s newly minted line behind which all shots—whether hurled or floated—were worth three points. Today such lines, which trace an arc around the basket, are part of the game nearly everywhere organized basketball is played.
