Less than a hundred years ago, wheelchairs were big clunky wooden chairs that couldn’t even fit through most doorways.  But in the 1930s, a pair of engineers dreamed up a  new kind of wheelchair that would change the lives of wheelchair-users dramatically. In fact, some of them invented a new sport that would become a worldwide sensation: wheelchair basketball. Join Joy and co-host Otis as they explore the history of this amazing sport and check out Otis’ wheelchair basketball practice! Plus, an all new First Things First! Resources:If you want to read more about the history of wheelchair basketball, check out this article by David Davis. Davis also wrote a book called Wheels of Courage that explores how World War II veterans invented wheelchair sports.

  • Welcome to the forever-ago trophy room.

  • Wow, there are so many trophies.

  • Oh, look at this one.

  • The thesaurus award for most adjectives in a sentence.

  • I savor this polkretudiness, astonishing and prodigious recognition.

  • Oh, and there's the second place trophy for most gracious loser.

  • You know, it's an honor just to lose.

  • And don't miss this one.

  • Best podcast host that breaks into song at the drop of a hat.

  • So impressive.

  • Well, Otis, when you're the host of an award-winning history podcast, the trophies just start piling up.

  • Now this wall is full of trophies given to me by others, and over here is the wall of trophies I've given to myself.

  • And this wall is trophies that I'm waiting to give to other people.

  • Ooh, have you been waiting to give any of these trophies to me?

  • Time will tell, Otis.

  • Time will tell.

  • Well, it just so happens that I also love giving and receiving trophies,

  • medals, certificates, plaques, commemorative plates,

  • dishwasher, safe travel, coffee mugs, lapel pins, ribbons, glass paper weights, and a high fives.

  • Well, in that case, this trophy is for you.
