History of Basketball

Basketball was made in Springfield, MA.  Dr. James Naismeth invented the game.  He was born in 1861 somewhere in Canada.  When he had school at recess they played Duck-on-a-Rock. The attempt was to knock the "duck" off the large rock with another rock. After he went to college and was done with being a sport director he went to the YMCA to help kids who worked hard and wanted to play sports. Jame's wanted them to play with skills not alot of strength and speed. The first game ever played was with two peach baskets and a soccer ball. He retired and went to kentucky to be a physical eduacation teacher for basketball. When he wanted to be done with that he was a medical doctor.
