 BASIC RULES IN BASKETBALL

Dr. James Naismith invented the game of

basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891.
The objective of today's game stems directly from
Naismith's original rules that are based around
shooting a ball through a metal hoop suspended
above the ground, which is called a basket.
