Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world. It is a team sport. When two teams play basketball, both of them try to get points against one another. How do they get points? They throw a ball through a 10?foot high basket under some rules. The team with more points at the end of the game wins.

In early December, 1891, the basketball game was invented by Dr. James Naismith. He was a Canadian P. E. teacher in Springfield, USA. In the beginning, he just wanted to find an indoor game for his students in winter. He wrote the basic rules. He also set a basket onto a 10?foot high wall. The players got one point by shooting the brown soccer ball into the basket. He called the new game “Basket Ball”. This new kind of sport soon became one of the most popular sports in North America.

Now basketball is a popular sport all over the world. In the United States, NBA basketball matches are the most popular events.
