The world's greatest sport,篮球, has not been around since the world began. It was invented by someone, and that someone was James Naismith. Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, Naismith was a Canadian gym teacher and physician who became the founder of basketball.
The sport was created in December 11. Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts, and was asked by Luther H. Gulick, the headmaster of the school for Christian Works, to create a new sport. The main idea was to have a sport that could be played indoors when it was too cold to go outside. The sport also had to keep athletes in top condition between the baseball and football seasons. Naismith got to work.
The first game ball was a soccer ball. The first baskets were peach baskets that Naismith hung on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally, there were nine men on each team, but the objective was the same: to pass the ball to teammates and put it into the opposing team's net, or basket, as it was called then.
Basketball caught on quickly. High schools and colleges began adopting the game in 1885, and by 18, the first professional league was founded. After the first game, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more would follow. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906. They were made of steel, with a net hanging from their rims.
