Quick, Who Scored The First Basket In NBA History?

[ABM]

Here's your clue: He just passed away...

Benjamin "Ossie" Schectman, a Knick who is credited with scoring the 1st basket in the NBA in 1946, has died, the team announced.

Schectman was 94 years old.

Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones tracked down video of the historic bucket, which might not have come in an NBA game, per se — Schectman's New York Knicks were playing (and would beat) the Toronto Huskies in the inaugural game of the Basketball Association of America, which would become the NBA in 1949 after absorbing the National Basketball League — but most definitely did come on a pretty cool fast break:

I could have thought of the answer but you put too much pressure on me to think of the answer quick.

Please don't use the word, 'Quick', in the thread title if you want everyone to read the OP. Thank you.

That was nice, all right.

Which team did Nate coach?

He coached the Bedrock Rockies. They lost 2-0. They were unable to score because Nate pigheadedly called the the Flintstone ISO every time down the court. When the double team came, Fred failed to find teammate Barney Rubble who was standing in the corner doing nothing.

So judging by the footage, the first game was the Jazz vs the Timberwolves?
