Basketball was created by Joe Naismith who was a gym teacher. He wanted to create anew sport for his boys to play in class because they were getting bored with soccer. So, he saw a peach basket, and thought to put it up on the wall. He told them to split into teams and one would try to get the soccer ball in the basket and the other team would try to guard them. Basketball has progressed over the years from that.
