James Naismith invented Basketball when he was working at the Springfield YMCA in Massachusetts. His class was confined indoors because of snow and rain. The head of physical education at the YMCA, Dr. Luther Gulick, told him he had two weeks to create an athletically stimulating game to keep the class occupied that could be played indoors.
