GLORIOUS MEMORIES

Welcome to the world of a galaxy of Basketball Stars from yester-years. Contributed by a number of senior basketball players who have brought glory to Karnataka (and Mysore State) in the past. We have compiled the memorable photos in the order of years. Wherever we have the names of people in the photo, we have provided them below and wherever we don’t have the names, we have put it as “xxxxx”. If in case you know any of the missing names or name of the event or year or location, or you have some old memories to share, please do send the details to KSBBA office at ksbba08@gmail.com.
