It was in late 1891 when high school drop-out James Naismith was called by his superior to create a new indoor game that would be interesting, easy to learn, and easy to play in the winter as well as by artificial light. Naismith reflected on popular games of the day and the games from his childhood, and assembled the pieces that would become Basket Ball. Five years later, the first documented professional basketball game took place in the US. It was a wild time, with barnstorming teams, leagues that came and went, and men who could play for three teams in three leagues at the same time. It wouldn’t be for another 50 years before this competitive team sport would evolve into the NBA.
As for the modest and humble Naismith, he would go on to earn four college degrees, but never to receive the full accolades’ for an invention that is now played by more people than any other game in the world. Here at J&O we recognize the lasting contribution Dr. Naismith’s indoctrination of this popular sport has had on the shaping of America’s culture. We send out a big “THANK YOU!”, as our show of appreciation for the sport that has basketball fans becoming J&O fans as well. With our bountiful selection of 45” cotton and 60” fleece fabric, you can sport your teams’ colors and mascots all the way to the finals and back again. Our 100% cotton novelty prints are great for everything from bed linens and quilts, to fan wear and accessories. Rep Allen “The Answer” Iverson’s team print from head to toe as you sleep dreaming of his multiple play-off steals. Stand out in your own fashionable Miami Heat fan ensemble complete with trimmed b-ball cap at the next live game. For those of you who prefer to cheer from the comforts of your own home, look for our warm & lightweight poly/fleece NBA print fabrics to create custom throws and pillows for those exciting nights in front of the tube watching the Orlando Magics vs Phoenix Suns. Whoever you root for, however you express your team spirit, have fun doing it with J&O Fabrics’ NBA prints. See you at the games!

In 1946, the NBA was formed as the Basketball Association of America. It wouldn't be until 1949 that - after merging with the rival National Basketball League - it would become the National Basketball Association. From among all of the professional basketball leagues, the NBA would emerge in the following years as the undisputed leader of its sport.
Today, the National Basketball Association consists of 30 teams and has become an international ambassador for the game of basketball. The influence of the NBA can be felt from Puerto Rico to China, and the names of its stars are known all over the world.
Now, after months of announcing the imminent arrival of our NBA fabrics, we are pleased to let you know that they have finally arrived! All thirty NBA teams have arrived in cotton, and the polar fleeces are on their way. Following are all thirty NBA teams carried in cotton:
