The history of basketball

Invented in 1891 by Canadian James Naismith basketball has become one of the world’s most popular sports The game is played by two teams of five players each, who score points by shooting a ball through a hoop.

Basketball was originally played with a Soccer Ball and two peach baskets tacked at each end of the gymnasium. Naismith’s idea was to create an indoor game that would keep track athletes in shape during the long winters. The first game was played with nine players on each side and ended with a score of 1-0.

Basketball quickly became popular at YMCA’s across America and became an official sport at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. In 1949, the first Professional Basketball league, the Basketball Association of America, was formed. Three years later, it merged with another professional league, the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The NBA today is comprised of 30 teams and is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America professional basketball is also played in Europe and Asia. At the collegiate level, basketball is very popular in the United States with both men’s and women’s teams attracting large crowds to their games.

How to watch basketball

Whether you’re a fan of the NBA, college basketball or just enjoy watching the sport in general, there are a few things you need to know in order to watch a game. In this article, we’ll give you a quick rundown of the basics so that you can enjoy the action without missing a beat.

The first thing you need to know is the Court. A regulation basketball court is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide The court is divided into two halves by a center line, and each half is further divided into two quarters by an end line. The semi-circle at each end of the court is called the key, and inside the key is a free throw line This is where players shoot Free throws which are worth one point each.

The game is played by two teams of five players each, who try to score points by shooting the ball through the hoop at their end of the court. The team with the most points at the end of regulation time (40 minutes in the NBA, 45 minutes in college) wins the game.

Each team has its own basket or hoop, which is 10 feet off the ground. Players score by shooting the ball through the hoop; three points are awarded for baskets made from beyond the Three-Point Line (23 feet 9 inches from the basket in College Basketball 22 feet in the NBA), and two points for baskets made from inside that line.

Players can score from anywhere on the court, but most of the action takes place around areas called ‘the paint.’ This refers to an area near each basket that’s painted a different color than rest of the court; it’s usually where players go to rebound (or ‘box out’) when shots are taken. Rebounding is important because it gives your team another opportunity to score points.

Now that you know how points are scored and what all of terms mean, you’re ready to sit back and enjoy watching a game!
