Who Invented Basketball?
He was inspired by a game he had played as a child called "duck on a rock."
Only advanced the ball by passing.

In 1939, March Madness began.
Naismith decided to invent a game of skill, finesse and accuracy.
Very sad fact...March Madness began the same year that Dr. Naismith died.
Each player had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball from the basket.
Naismith was a physical education instructor.
The first college basketball game was played on 1/18/1896, final score was Chicago 15,  Lowa 12.
Even players earned points by successfully tossing the ball into the peach baskets, kinda like today.
Dr. James Naismith invented basketball.

Basketball became an official Olympic sport at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.
A fact is iron hoops with open-ended nets did'nt come until 1913.
Set of 13 basic rules.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar holds the record for most points scored in a career with 38,387 points.
Eighteen ninety one basketball was invented.
The first game was played on December 21, 1891.
Bouncing the ball along the floor-what we call dribbling now- was'nt part of the game until later.
A soccer ball was used back then but later the basketball was created.
Looking back, Chicago won the first game, I wonder who was all on the team.
Last but not least, I think that basketball is a great sport, it can be played almost anywhere.
