Did the high-five originate in Louisville?

Maybe you've heard the story, but it's said to have been created by two University of Louisville basketball players: Wiley Brown and Derek Smith.

Smith has since passed, but we caught up with his son, current UofL assistant coach Nolan Smith, and Brown, a former Louisville champion, to tell the tale themselves.

"We all play above the rim, and it just so happened one day that Derek and I were going to do a low five, but he said 'up high.' It started from there," Brown said. "When we started the high-five, that's exactly how it was back then. We were an exciting team that played above the rim, high five after the dunk. The high-five became exciting not only to us but fans were doing it."

High five

Derek Smith won a championship in 1980 and went on to play professionally. His son, Nolan, followed his footsteps, and recalled this memory from then.

"Remember my first time going to the locker room and all my teammates were talking about it. 'Hey man, your dad invented the high-five?' So they started joking around and giving me high 5s and we kind of took it to the court," he said.

So, there you have it! And if you don't believe them, Brown doesn't care.

"I'm going to carry that to my grave because before that I have never seen it. The naysayers can say all they want to. I'm taking that to my grave. My best friend came to me and said we invented that. We invented that," he said.
