Pick-up Basketball

Lithuanians historically have been crazy about basketball.

Do you remember how the Grateful Dead sponsored the 1992 and 1996 Lithuanian Olympic Basketball Teams? The band created the uniforms for those games.

Sometimes Lithuanians play their best games in times of real adversity.


Schweinfurt, Germany, Summer 1948. A group of Lithuanian Displaced Persons plays basketball on a Sunday afternoon.
