Sorry, sliced bread. You’ve been replaced as the go-to pinnacle of inventions by these guys in Vermont who formed the Mini Basketball League, which is exactly what it sounds like — an honest-to-goodness league played on 8-and-a-half-foot hoops with those little miniature basketballs you get at any NBA stadium. Incredible.
I mean, don’t these guys look like they’re having the best time ever? (This guy, not so much.) They keep records, they have people take pictures and video, they get matching custom jerseys. They are not messing around. They even have an All-Star Game. An All-Star Game, you guys. For a miniature basketball league. Smart.
And then, in a stroke of genius for which we can thank technology, they put everything on the Internet. The lockout totally sucks, but at least we have this. Might rechristen the site The Mini Basketball Jones and just devote all of our resources to covering the MBL. Spend some time checking this stuff out and you’ll see it’s totally worth it. It’s only the best idea ever.

Strong multiculturalism.. lol
*no black guys*
Well, it’s Vermont.
True, true you got a point.
Finally, a league with less than the NBA! Seriously, put a damn hand up and swat the ball out of the court
when my friends and i used to lower my hoop to 8 1/2 feet and play a game—almost without fail, somebody got hurt. everyone was pretty much blake griffin out there.
Is it bad that I like their version of the Cavs jerseys better than the real ones?
If, and when, I play this, I guarantee I will injure every joint in my body.
that’s not even 8 and a half foot. more like 7 foot hoop.
Proof that the main theme from Last of the Mohicans can make anything epic. Also, I laughed at the dude who crossed a guy up then missed the dunk and the baggyness of everyone’s clothing.
The kid in the picture on the left looks like biedrins
Matty O needs to cameo in this league
The Only reason I missed that dunk in that video is number 24 undercut me as I tried to posterize him
think an nba player may take his talents to the mbl?
This idea is good for the dunking, but htose mini balls and baskets really screw up your shot
VERY GOOD IDEA NICE JERSEYS!!!!
