No, Basketball was not invented in Kansas City, Missouri. The sport was created by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 while he was a physical education instructor at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. Naismith developed the game as a way to keep his students active indoors during the winter months.
