I'm sure that came from the fact that when Basketball was created, the ball (then a soccer ball or football ball) was supposed to be shot into empty peach baskets, left behind by fruit pickers.
James Naismith then apparently came up with the idea and named it after the goal of the game: shooting the ball into the basket, hence, basketball.
