Do you like basketball? It's played on a rectangular court and has minimal contact
I watch it very rarely, but I'm familiar with it. Do you know anything about the Los Angeles Lakers?
Well, I know that they have been around since before the National Basketball Association was formed
Wow that's probably a long time then, when did the National Basketball Association first form?
I'm not sure but basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith. 
Such a young sport roughly speaking, do you know anything else about James Naismith?
I know that he wrote the original rulebook and founded the University of kansas basketball program
That's interesting, I didn't know he formed the university's basketball program. Do you know if the University of Kansas basketball program is good currently?
I can't say for sure, but I do know that Naismith was able to see his sport become an official Olympic event in 1936
That's very fortunate for him, I know the US is very good at olympic basketball usually.
