During the barnstorming days of basketball (1920s-1940s), it was crucial that a team stand out. While one way was just to dominate all competition, another was to showcase a particular aspect that was unique to the team. In a similar fashion to modern-day professional wrestlers, many barnstorming teams tried to tell a narrative of sorts, even if it meant playing up racial stereotypes. It was a strange yet exciting era of basketball history.
