Basketball was developed when the creator, James Naismith, was requested to create a game while working at a YMCA.. His result was was a game incorporating two teams of nine people, a peach basket nailed to each side of the court, and a ball. Naismith formally published the rules, and the game quickly became popular in the United States. It was added to the Olympics in 1936.
