The #Basketball Future (an Upcoming Athlete) Needs Your Support! | @GoFundMe @CopelandNetwork @NicoleJames @NBA #NationalBasketballAssociation

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to the opportunity to donate to the furthering of a recent 'high school'-grad's basketball-career ... the fundraising-goal has been reached, but I don't suppose your help would be refused) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Basketball” is the name of a sport (invented by Springfield (Massachusetts) P.E.-instructor James Naismith) in which players try to throw a #Ball into one of two #Baskets on opposite ends of a court.

The word "Baskets" is built on ancient words that mean |Kettle, |Table-|Vessel (cognate with Bundle, |Faggot (probably talking about the bundle of sticks used to make a |Wicker-Basket)). 
#Basket #HandBasket #BreadBasket #WickerBasket 
The word "Ball" is built on either an unrecorded Old English word (that's also the base of Testicle, |Ballocks) or ancient words that mean "to Blow, |Swell" ... or the 'Big Dance'- or 'Fun, Enjoyable Time'- (Having a Ball) meanings come from ancient words that mean "to |Throw one's Body, Reach (ancient Greek dancing being very-athletic)."

The idea of 'donating support-money to a young basketballer' ... reminds me of the idea of donating money to televangelists in order to "boost your bank-account in Heaven"—



That brings up a discussion I'll open soon—"Remember when Money was Something Real?" Oh, it still retains 'realistic qualities' (if you don't have it or -have "credit" you can use in its place, there's "a lack"; everyone labors in order to gain more of it); but it's not 'a thing you get & -have & -give or -lose' as much as it's 'a thing you promise you will get later in order to give it away.'
