Is basketball the only sport Larry bird played?
While Larry Bird may have been a fan of other sports, most biographies about him say that he gravitated towards basketball as a kid, and continued to focus entirely on basketball throughout his athletic career-- in high school, college, and the NBA. There have been a few basketball players who tried to play other sports (for example, Michael Jordan tried to become a pro baseball player, but his efforts were unsuccessful); however Larry Bird decided at a young age to make basketball his life, and that is what he did-- first as a player, and then as a coach.
Birthplace of basketball?
Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts, is world renowned as the Birthplace of Basketball. In 1891, James Naismith was challenged to invent a game that could be played indoors during wintertime. He borrowed elements of lacrosse, rugby, soccer, and a Canadian game he played as a boy called "duck on a rock" to create "basketball." The sport was quickly embraced by both men and women; within the same year, women began playing basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts. By the end of 1891, the game had been introduced in Mexico; by the end of the century, basketball had spread to such countries as China, India, Czechoslovakia, Lebanon, England, France and Japan. Today, basketball is part of our culture and has grown to become one of the world's most popular sports. The game in played by men and women of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities - from professional athletes to schoolchildren.
