Who invented basketball's jump shot? How did shooting three-pointers become cooler than dunking? And how did NCAA President Mark Emmert's face end up on a new line of t-shirts? This week on Only A Game, we'll revisit some of our favorite origin stories. Join us as we consider the beginnings of sports, athletes and more.

This program aired on June 18, 2016.
