No female player has ever officially suited up for an NBA team, but the Indiana Pacers did invite UCLA standout Ann Meyers to attend their training camp for the 1979-80 season. She didn't make the final squad, however.
There has never been a women in the NBA. They have a WNBA for women to play in.

Highest Scoring outing occurred on Dec. 13, 1983

I played in one of the longest, if not the longest, high school basketball game in Kansas history, at the Dodge City "Tournament of Champions" in 1982. My team, from the small town of Mullinville (1981 Kansas Class 1A State Champions) played Silver Lake (1981 Kansas Class 3A State Champions) in a 6-overtime game in the 4th-6th place consolation contest. I have often wondered since if other, longer games have been played.

The longest high school basketball game I'm aware of was the 1964 Indiana high school state regional tournament game between Swayzee and Liberty Center. The game lasted nine overtime periods and was finally won by Swayzee, which had beaten Oak Hill a week earlier in the sectional tournament's championship game in three overtimes. At that time, there were no class divisions in Indiana high school basketball. All schools (large and small) were included in one class.

1949
When DID the NBA start. It started in 1946 as the BAA (Basketball Association of American) then merged with the NBL (National Basketball League) and became known as the NBA in 1950.

On November 1, 1946, the New York Knicks beat the Toronto Huskies 68-66 at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in the new league's first game and it was the Knicks Ossie Schectman who scored the games first basket. Toronto player-coach Ed Sadowski was the high scorer with 18. == ==

The United States

Canada invented basketball actually.

Yep James Naismith was born and went to school in Canada then invented it in the states as an exercise drill. He created the game and made the official rulebook on basketball as we know it today, although it was invented in America.

Everything that's anything in Lawrence, KS. A lot of streets and apartment complexes. I used to live in "The Campus Courts at Naismith".

Kareem Abdul Jabbar started playing basketball at age 12

While it remains unclear as to who was the initial player to breakout the "dunk" it has now evolved as a huge part of the game. The dunk is certainly a crowd favorite with Slam Dunk Showdown's and contests and is constantly being remodeled and becoming more creative over the years. According to the related Sports Illustrated link, "Not even the staff at the Basketball Hall of Fame is sure who made the first dunk in organized play. What is known is that the shot has been around nearly as long as the game itself (that means since the 1890's) and that in the 1940's Oklahoma A&M's 6'10" center Bob Kurland became the first college player to regularly use the dunk."

Michael Jordan shot .497 career FG%, to Larry Bird's .496.. Bird averaged 24 pts per game, while Jordan averaged 30.1 (career totals).. Bird had higher PT and 3 pt numbers (.886 FT% and .376 3 pt for Bird) versus Michael's numbers (.835 FT% and .327 3 pt for Mike) but in this debate, I would have to give it to Michael Jordan. ---- Through the 2008 season, the highest career shooting percentage goes to Artis Gilmore at 58.19%. Shaq is 2nd at 58.05% and Mark West is 3rd at 58.03%. Yea i would have to agree with Michael Jordan has the best shooting percentage
