A group of old-timey people stand in front of wallpaper; one of them says "LOL, what are you daydreaming about over there, Dr. Naismith?" In the foreground, Dr. Naismith stares into the distance, the light catching his glasses. "...the future," he says, as a vision of a basketball looms out of the shadows behind him.

Stay busy dreamin'
