History of Basketball

James Naismith invented basketball. In Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. He remember about games that he would play when he was small so by putting all those Ideas together he a great idea of getting a peach basket from the school cafeteria and cutting a hole under so when they through the ball it would go straight through. And count as a point every time they made one. The reason why he invented basketball was because they needed a sport to play indoors for the winter because it was too cold to play baseball or football outside. At the beginning the circumstances where that they had to had to play 9 versus 9, handle a soccer ball not a basketball, and instead of shooting at two hoops, the goals were a pair of peach baskets.  Before he even came up with basketball he had trouble trying to figure out the best game to play indoors. He keep thinking and thinking he finally thought about the game that is still now known as basketball. The difference between basketball then and now is that back then they would use peach baskets and use a soccer ball to play with and now they actually use a net and a actual basketball.
