History and Development
Basketball is considered as a unique sport because it was created by accident by a priest. In 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian priest who taught at a school for professional students at the YMCA (a Christian youth container) in Springfield, Massachusetts, to make a game in an enclosed space to fill time students during the winter break in New England . Inspired from the game he had played as a child in Ontario, Naismith created the game now known as basketball on December 15, 1891.
According to the story, after rejecting several ideas being considered too loud and not suitable to be played in the stadium-arena closed, he then wrote a few basic rules, put a basket on the wall of the gym, and asked his students to start playing the game of his creation.
Official game basketball first, held on January 20, 1892 at work Dr. James Naismith. Basket ball (the term for this sport in English), is a name that was initiated by one of his students. This sport became immediately famous throughout the United States. Fanatical fans placed throughout the branches of the YMCA in the United States. Game by game immediately implemented in cities across the U.S. states.
In August 1936, while attending the 1936 Berlin Olympics, he was named as the Honorary President of the International Basketball Federation. Born as a citizen of Canada, he became a citizen of the United States on May 4, 1925.
