    Back when points were rare as hens’ teeth.

      And at least a modicum of safety gear.

        I’m not sure there’s ever been much safety gear in bball. Maybe a tooth guard and a cup, I guess.

        Actually flak vests seem to be worn sometimes today, and significantly help with blows to the rib cage, evidently.
