Basketball, the world's greatest sport ever, but of course, it hasn't been around since the world began. No, somebody had to have invented it. And that somebody would be James Naismith.
Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym Teacher and Physician would soon be the founder of basketball. It all started in December of 1891. Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts and was asked by Luther H. Gulick, the Headmaster of the school for Christian Works to make a new sport. The main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. The new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. Naismith began to work. The first game-ball was a soccer ball.
The first baskets were peach baskets that Naismith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally, there was 9 men to each team, but the objective was still the same; to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing team's net, or basket back then. From there, basketball caught on like a wildfire.
During 1885 highschools and colleges began to adopt the game, and by 1898, the first Pro League was founded. After the first game played, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906. They were steel, with a net hanging from it's rim.
籃球作為世界上偉大的運(yùn)動(dòng)之一，并不是憑空而來，它一定有自己的發(fā)明者。這個(gè)發(fā)明者，就是James Naismith。James 出生于加拿大的安大略，他曾是一個(gè)體育教師。在1891年他在馬塞諸塞教授體育的時(shí)候，學(xué)校的校長讓他為基督教的活動(dòng)想出一種運(yùn)動(dòng)，而這種運(yùn)動(dòng)一定要在室內(nèi)進(jìn)行，因?yàn)槭彝夂芾?。這種運(yùn)動(dòng)，按照校長的要求，一定要使運(yùn)動(dòng)員保持棒球和足球比賽時(shí)的激情。于是，他就開始思考這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。經(jīng)過思考，他想出了一種方法：在墻上掛網(wǎng)子，然后把球扔向這個(gè)用網(wǎng)子做的籃子里。從此，籃球得以產(chǎn)生。本來，每個(gè)隊(duì)伍有9個(gè)隊(duì)員，但是規(guī)則是：把球傳向自己隊(duì)伍的隊(duì)員，然后設(shè)法投向?qū)Ψ降目鹱永?。從此，籃球就很快傳播開來。1885年，高中和大學(xué)都開始采用這種運(yùn)動(dòng)方式，到1898年，第一個(gè)籃球聯(lián)盟成立。第比賽后， James設(shè)計(jì)了13個(gè)比賽規(guī)則?；@球筐子的邊緣框架是在1906年設(shè)計(jì)的，材料是鋼。
Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. He was born in 1861 in Ramsay township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith's school days in the area where he played a simple child's game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
James 作為世界聞名的籃球發(fā)明家，出生于1861年的Ramsay小鎮(zhèn)，位于加拿大的安大略。他發(fā)明籃球的點(diǎn)子是來自他小時(shí)候玩的一種游戲，叫“duck-on -a-rock”。這種游戲就是用一塊石頭把另一塊石頭打掉。James 后來轉(zhuǎn)去了魁北克的Montreal大學(xué)教授課程。
