Hear hear! Well done, Scruffy. I’m impressed!

This guy was the inventor of the game of basketball (James Naismith). He invented the game in 1891 to keep athletes in shape during winters.

In the picture below, he is introducing the game to his wife. Don't laugh, a year later she won a slam dunk contest with a perfect double clutch dunk!

What decade was this picture taken? Clue: he died in 1939 at the age of 78.

Hint for our younger members: The lead singer has had a reality TV series in recent years. He is seated front right (front left in this picture).

3...2...1...Go!

I'm mad this one has me stumped. Going by Scruffy's clues I can only think of Bad Company, but I don't think that's right.

Hint: First part of the name starts with a B and the second part starts with an S

Oh of course it's Black Sabbath. I really didn't recognise Ozzy there.

The car... hmm.. Looks a little like a Duesenberg.

But the cloche hat is something that reminds me of the 1920's, so that would be my decade.

My exact year guess is 1928.
