HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

The game basketball started with a peach basket, and eventually became an instant hit for people at that time. Dr. James Naismith discovered the game in 1891 and it led him to recognition in sports history. Dr. Luther Gullick, a P.E professor from YMCA Springfield, Massachusets, was very eager to come up with a new game with team game format similar to other ball games.

At that time Naismith was his best students in class who was eventually assigned to come up with a new brand of game which requires a number of participants. Pressured to beat the deadline, he hang two peach baskets at both ends of the court designed with a hoop and a volleyball.

The objective of the game was to shoot the ball from the hoop; the team with the most number of shot made wins the game. After the demonstration, the game was an instant hit. However, problems were encountered on how to improve the game.
