Basketball was invented by Dr James Naismith who was born in 1891 in Almonte, Ontario, Canada.
Dr Naismith was thinking to create a game that can be played indoors during long winters. He wrote the rules of the game and used an old beach basket as a net. The first basketball game was played using a soccer ball.
Basketball today is played in a basketball court with a special ball used only for basketball play, the court has many lines and players can run fast and jump high on this kind of courts.
Court lines:
- Centreline
- sidelines
- Three points line
- Free throw line
