As an amateur in 1967 my 1st basket came from Piston. I was 14. It was used, but in good playing condition. It was free, given graciously as he was teaching me, in preparation for my 1968 Olympic partidos played in Mexico and Acapulco, it is very special. I still have it and always will. The "taco" still has his handwritten "Piston" written across it.
