EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a basketball that was once used in American Basketball Association (ABA) games during the 1960s. Created by Rawlings, a renowned sporting goods manufacturer, this ABA game-used ball features the iconic red, white, and blue color scheme that became synonymous with the league. The white sections of the ball proudly display black prints of important information such as "AMERICAN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION / ABA / Jack Dolph COMMISSIONER" while above on the vibrant red section is printed "Rawlings / RSS / Official". As an artifact from one of America's most significant basketball leagues, this photograph represents not only a piece of sports history but also cultural heritage. The ABA played a vital role in advancing African American participation and representation in professional basketball during its time. This object symbolizes both progress and unity within the sport. Preserved at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this image captures more than just a physical item; it encapsulates an era when basketball transcended boundaries and united people across race, location, and background. It serves as a reminder of how sports can shape society and foster inclusivity. Through this print by Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, we are transported back to an exciting period in American history where passion for basketball soared high amidst changing times.
