My name is Gibson Hope and I have always been interested in Basketball. I have always loved watching the game, and playing it with my friends. When brainstorming what I could do for March Madness, I knew I wanted to do something about basketball, but I didn't know what to do. It seemed to me like everyone already knew all the basics of basketball history when a thought struck me. I felt like no one really knew how the technology was created or even the history of them. I asked around, and it seemed like no one knew, and at that moment, I knew my project was going to be able to educate people about the history of basketball technology. I then decided to take a deep dive into specific areas of basketball, and I finally decided on basketball shoes, equipment, and clothes.
