History

Basketball was invented in 1891. Dr. James A. Naismith was working in a

YMCA on a cold and snowy day. Therefore the children could not go outside.

It was upon him to think of something to do for the kids, so he cut out the

bottom of a peach basket and nailed it to the wall...but what was he going?

He used a volley ball. Back then you couldnt dribble a volleyball because,

they were very heavy. Over the years basketball increased in its population

There were thirteen rules in basketball, now theres way too many to count.

Basketball has changed alot since the year 1891. People shoot alot different

They also pass and shoot alot differently. The players have changed also.

Now the players are more athletic. most of the basketball players range in

from six feet three inches to six feet nine inches. Thats very tall.
