The flash and power and joy that NBA fans take for granted in todays game began here. This was a league of second cities, full of outcasts with wild hair and wilder moves. It was these has-beens, these never-weres, and just a few incredible soon-to-be's that gave us the three-pointer, the true slam dunk and that unforgettable red-white-and-blue ball.
Four decades of stories so rich, characters so defined and language so vibrant, they are woven into our culture. From "Beam me up, Scotty" to handheld "communicators" that look eerily like that new flip-phone you bought today. A star-spanning tale of the far-flung future told in colors so bright they shine in memory.
And let us also not forget that Superman is the courage and strength of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster over decades to win fair credit and compensation for their creation of one of the most recognizable and successful characters in global history.
