Welcome to TSE: NBA ( Basketball )
Well there's no doubt or controversy
about who invented Basketball...Dr. James Naismith adapted it from a
game he played as a child called Duck-On-A-Rock. James Naismith moved
on to
the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891, after
leaving as McGill's Athletic Director in Montreal. While there he
needed to create a game that allowed itself to be played indoors during
the harsh winters. The first game involved two peach baskets, a
soccer ball, and a list of thirteen rules.

The YMCA helped to propel the sport
into many communities and by 1936 it was introduced at the Berlin
Olympics. In 1959, James Naismith
was inducted into
the Basketball Hall of Fame ( Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
).
