Hey! Spring of Trivia’s 50 on 50: Japanese Basketball Absolutely Rules
This is how you play basketball. With a few more people than generally allowed. On TV. In Japan.
NOTE: The real action gets going after the two minute mark. Unless you speak Japanese.
That zone defense was awesome.

anyone who can translate that? Was it about “original rules” or something?

They’re saying that originally it didn’t matter how many people you had playing, so long as the teams were equal on both sides. And in 1892 at Cornell University they had a class of 100 people, so they made the teams into 50 people each.
