Basketball

James Naismith was the inventor of basketball. Basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in the year of 1891. Basketball was invented because the head of Springfield YMCA told James that within 14 days he must create an indoor game that was an athletic distraction. Also he had rules to this which were it couldn’t take up much room, it also had to keep the track athletes in shape, it had to be fair to all players, and couldn't be too ruff. The game was simply in the beginning and had little to no rules. The difference from now and back then was that now there are much more rules and the way the baskets and playing field is set.
