History of Basketball

• Research:The game of basketball was created in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He created the game because he was looking for another way to condition his football players. He started the games with peach baskets for hoops and a soccer style ball. The main goal of the game was to run back and forth while trying to put the ball in the peach baskets. Someone suggested that the game should be called “Naismith Game” but he said “we have a ball and a basket: so why don’t we call it basketball?”.
