rebounding.
There are different player positions like the “center”, “power forward”, “small
forward”, “point guard” and “shooting guard”. Each of these players has his
own roles in the game of basketball.
History:
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by Canadian clergyman,
educator and physician James Naismith.
He introduced the game when he was teaching in Young Men’s Christian
Association Training School (now Springfield College).
The game involved elements of American football, soccer, and hockey; the
first ball was a soccer ball.
The teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets
affixed to the walls.
By 1897-1898, teams of five became the standard. The game rapidly
spread in USA and Canada.
In 1934, the first college games were staged in New York City’s Madison
Square Garden and college basketball became more popular.
By 1950’s, basketball has become a major college sport.
In 1898, the National Basketball League was formed to protect the players
from exploitation and promote fewer rough games. The league only lasted
for five years.
In 1949 two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball
League and Basketball Association of America was made and later
merged to create the National Basketball Association or the NBA.
