BASKETBALL!!

what is basketball.

The game has many individual techniques for displaying skill—ball-handling, shooting, passing, dribbling, dunking, shot-blocking, and rebounding. Basketball teams generally have player positions, the tallest and strongest members of a team are called a center or power forward, while slightly shorter and more agile players are called small forward, and the shortest players or those who possess the best ball handling skills are called a point guard or shooting guard. The point guard directs the on court action of the team, implementing the coach's game plan, and managing the execution of offensive and defensive plays (player positioning).

CREATION:

It was created by a canadian James Naismith,he was a physical education professor in springfield massachusetts. He was trying to keep his class active on a rainy day,so he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto an elevated track.it was originally with a soccer ball;those balls were made with a set of laces to close off the hole needed for inserting the inflatable bladder.these laces could cause bounce passes and dribbling to be unpredictable.
