History of Basketball
James Naismith invented basketball.
In Springfield, Massachusetts is where basketball began.
In 1891 is when basketball began.
They used a panels of leather stitched together with rubber inside, a cloth was added to the leather for support.
He started basketball to condition younger athletes during winter.
He had 13 rules of basketball.
James consisted of peach baskets and a soccer style ball.
William chase scored a long goal from 25 feet a half court shot.
Now they are more rules more players the game is played often and more teams.


Reflection: I think that it is awesome being the first person to invent a sport specially that it had become so famous now.
