  • Summary

  • Back in the 1930s Ned Irish would out on college basketball double-headers in Madison Square Garden. These matchups pitted some of the best teams in the country against each other. This led to two outcomes. First, teams with radically different styles of play were scheduled in dream matchups for the fans. Second, it led to Irish making a small fortune that allowed him to be a key figure in the creation of the NBA.
