Home Movie Depot Digitizes Historic Basketball Footage

ASHLAND, Mo., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Movie Depot today announced its selection of Andrew Karstens' footage of his late father Bob Karstens as its Reel of the Week. The footage is of Bob performing amazing basketball tricks, most of which he invented. "My father was an all-around great guy," said Andrew. "I am so proud that his legacy will live on through this project." To see the video, please go to: http://www.facebook.com/HomeMovieDepot or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djHYZehSsoE

Bob Karstens is known as the first Caucasian player to be under contract with the "World's Greatest Basketball Show," joining the traveling basketball group in 1942.

Karstens is credited with being an original creator of the group's famous "Magic Circle" pregame routine. He also developed the "Goofball," which was a gag basketball filled with off-center weights, the "yo-yo" basketball and the behind-the-back backhand shot.

Home Movie Depot's Reel of the Week highlights interesting footage, and shares it with all its Facebook Fans.

"We want everyone to enjoy their digitized home movies as much as we enjoy transferring them," said Gerald McKinney, president of Home Movie Depot. "This program allows our Fans to get a sample of our work, and see the great movies that we work with every day."
