Correction: it’s 1930 (like the ball says) – I just did poor math when figuring the year

Those 1930 basketball shoes are awesome. Looks like they had a bit of extra ankle support even back then.
great pic to have, and upvote for wayne ok!
I wonder if those were denim shorts?
Their legs look like track or cross country runners’ legs. Was your grandpa a runner as well?
The guy on the top right is about to receive a burn notice
Did you cross post to r/oklahoma?
Is that Ken Cosgrove next to grandpa?

Wayne/Payne the twin cities of Oklahoma !
And Paul Dano to gramps’s right.
What about Payne?
Looks like playing basketball brought your grandpa and his buddies a lot of joy. The happiness is just radiating off of them.
Damn, homie on the left is bow legged.
My god imagine the passing drills
His shoes look painted on
Looks like he is flanked on either side by Barry Keough on his right and Paul Dano on his left
Hate to say it but half the team looks inbred
Great pic. Looks like the cast of *Hoosiers*, the greatest basketball movie ever made.
