James Naismith, a physical educationteacher in Massachusetts, inventedbasketball in 1891. Naismiths boss askedhim to invent a game that students couldplay indoors during bad weather. Hewanted to find a game that wasnt asphysically rough as soccer, football, orwrestl ing. Naismith attached peachbaskets to a railing ten feet above thefloor at either end of the gym.
The players used a soccer ball. Aperson sat on a ladder next to eachbasket at either end of the gym, andthrew out the balls that landed in thebaskets. Naismith decided that havingonly five players on each team wouldkeep the game from getting too rough.
Two years later, metal hoops with netbags replaced the peach baskets.Officials pulled a string on the nets torelease the balls that went in. In 1894,Naismith added the back board behindeach net and changed to a larger ball.In 1913, people began using thebottomless nets that are used today.
By the 1990s, basketball was the mostpopular indoor sport. Athletes inapproximately 130 countries play thegame. Basketball is especially popularin the United States, China, and PuertoRico.
