The savior for the NBA emerged in the form of Danny Biasone, who instituted the 24-second shot clock that most agree, saved the league.

Stopping on the outskirts of town, he heard the windmill’s broken vane rhythmically click-clacking with each turn in the steady west wind. The dry-scraping sound of its pump echoed the plight of the town: too little rain, not enough water. Many of the storefronts were boarded up, and few people were walking its dusty streets. Surviving

centuries, countries, and methods. John Harrison’s final clock, H4, was the culmination of that race, an elegant, practical, and direly needed winner. But this race wasn’t solo; instead it was a relay. Harrison needed the knowledge and support of Enlightenment Science and the Royal Society to accomplish what he did.
