Who invented basketball, who invented it, and who invented basketball?

An American drop, named James Ney Miss invented basketball more than 100 years ago.

The technical requirements are not very high, but the physical fitness is high.

Basketball is a popular sport. It was invented in 1891 by an American named Naismith.

Naismith was a physical education teacher at the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, when the head of the school's physical education department asked him to invent a team sport that could be played indoors in the winter and aroused students' interest. So, Naismith began to think about a suitable sport, the local peach is abundant, every family has a peach basket, children like to use the peach basket as the goal of the ball to practice shooting, Naismith was inspired, and combined the lacrosse played by the Native American Indians and the football played by the British, forming a new indoor sport - basketball.

Instead of sticks or kicks, participants pass the ball from place to place, or shoot (dribble) the ball on the ground and throw it into the target. Each participant has their own position, with the most accurate shooting being the forward, the tall being the center, and the agile and reflexive being the guard.

Unable to figure out what to target at first, he improvised a small wooden fruit basket to make a target. At that time, the competition was relatively simple, the venue could be large or small, and there could be more or less masters. Students in physical education class are divided into two teams to stand on both sides of the baseline, the referee throws the ball into the middle of the court to start the game, the players of both sides rush into the court to hold the ball, the team players use the method of passing, dribbling to approach the basket, and strive to throw the ball into the opponent's basket.

Because the basket has a bottom, a ladder is placed next to the peach basket at both ends, and every time you score a goal, you go up to get it once. This is time-consuming and cumbersome. By 1893, a net-like bag began to be attached to the hoop.

After the player hits, the referee pulls a rope attached to the net bag and causes the ball to fall. Then rebounding was introduced, which was designed to prevent spectators in the stands from getting in the way of players throwing the ball during the game. Later, people simply cut the closed net wire at the end and turned it into a bottomless hoop basket like it is now.

At first, people called this game "Naismith Ball", or "Basketball", but Naismith was adamantly opposed to it, because the ball had to be thrown into the basket, so it was named "basketball".

Basketball is the most fun sport in history!

My personal opinion is this.

Basketball came out early!
