20 Vintage Photos of Donkeys Playing Basketball

When I was in high school, I got yelled at for wearing non-sneakers into the gym. But apparently, in many gyms around the country, donkey hoofs are a-okay on the hardwood floor. Especially if they're playing basketball. 


A staple of Middle America since the 1930s, donkey basketball is tragically dying out as things like logic and safety rule the day, but back in the '60s and '70s, there was no better way to spend a Friday afternoon. 


Here are 20 vintage pics of donkeys shooting hoops and making it rain.
