What are facts about basketball?
There are no unusual facts about basketballShaquille O'Neal was 6ft 6inches when he was 13 years old!It depends on what kind. Well when the basketball hits the backboard, and then goes through the net, that is called a bankshot. When the shooter jumps while shooting, it is considered a jump shot. And believe it or not but when you "palm" the ball (scooping the ball up with one hand while bouncing) during a game..it is considered a foul.Basketball was invented by a man named James Naismith and the first games of basketball were played with two peach baskets as what would today be referred to as a hoop and a soccer ball.
Where does basketball come from?
Surprisingly, unlike most sports whose origins are somewhat obscure, often being the combination of other sports and developed gradually through time, basketball has a very precise and fully known origin.It was all started by Dr. James Naismith, the son of two Scottish immigrants to Canada. By 1891, Dr. Naismith was teaching physical education in Springfield, MA at the YMCA International Training School (which today is Springfield College). While there, he was asked by the director of physical education, Dr. Luther Gulick, to come up with a new game students could play indoors during the winter that would help keep track and field runners in shape and would be relatively safe to play (particularly that it would have a small amount of physical contact so that the players wouldn't get injured in this game). you can visit www.ryanfrancisco.posterous.com fo more info about basketball.
