Jordan Kobe

Basketball is a game born and nurtured in America. You will be surprised to know that it came from the mastermind of a Dr. James Naismith who started the idea of basketball in Massachusetts. Naismith was at that time the Athletic Director of the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was looking for some sort of an indoor sport that would be popular amongst the masses, while at the same time would be invigorating to the muscles and tendons of those who played the game. This was because, in Massachusetts, the winters were one of the coldest with blistering cold, pelting snow and slippery ice that stayed for most of the winter. Due to these conditions, people stayed indoors for most of the winter season. People tended to get out of shape, staying inside, hoping that spring would set in and outdoor activities would be possible once again.

Dr. Naismith was aware of this tendency and the lack of fitness that went with it. So he invented the game of basketball. Initially the game was played with two baskets, with two teams formed to start off the game. The game debuted to immense popularity and it was soon spread out through the United States through the wings of the YMCA and from there, to almost all the corners of the world.

In 1936, basketball was an official game for the first time in the Berlin Olympics. Dr. James Naismith had his purpose for basketball served. He began the game when he was not a doctor; he had just graduated in medicine and became a doctor later on, as he refined the game.

The team for a traditional game of basketball consists of a maximum of 15 players and a maximum of 12 players can be on the field actively participating in the game. The ball can be thrown with both the hands. The arms and the other parts of the body cannot come in contact with the ball, and in any cases of pushing, shoving or throwing down the opponent is considered an offence, the first such offence is considered foul and a second offence would mean that the offender cannot play till the goal is made.

The first game was played by the students of the University of Quebec. Since Naismith was asked to invent this game he never copyrighted or trademarked it, so the game is still free to play and almost all colleges and schools the world over plays this game to this day. Hats off to Dr. Naismith, for having invented a game for the ages!
