1 Basketball nowadays has become one of the world’s most popular sports. In fact, it was invented in 1891 CE in Springfi eld, Massachusetts, USA, by the Canadian teacher Dr James Naismith. He wanted to create a sport that his students could play indoors during the cold months of winter. The fi rst basketball game consisted of two teams of nine players each. They had to pass a football from one end of the room to the other and throw it into the wicker basket that was attached to the wall at either end. Every time the ball was thrown into the basket and a point was scored, a player had to climb a ladder to get the ball back. It wasn't until the year 1906 CE that metal hoops, nets and backboards were introduced, and basketball became the sport as we know it today.
