Basketball Was Invented In The Late 1800’s
Many people do not know that the game of Basketball was invented in the late 1800’s by a man by the name of Dr. James Naismith. Unlike other sports that were invented accidentally, it was thought of on purpose. Dr Naismith started the game because he wanted a sport that his students could take part in during the cold New England winter months. When he first developed the game it had only thirteen rules. Things have evolved since the games inception and there are now many more rules, but the main objective of the game to get the ball into the hoop remains the same.
