== == Chris Ford, of the Boston Celtics, made the first three-point shot in NBA history on October 12, 1979.
On November 1, 1946, in the opening game of the fledgling Basketball Association of America (BAA), Ossie Schectman scored the opening basket for the New York Knickerbockers against the Toronto Huskies. Schectman and his teammates Sonny Hertzberg, Stan Stutz, Hank Rosenstein, Ralph Kaplowitz, Jake Weber, and Leo "Ace" Gottlieb went on to win the opening game 68 - 66 and finish the season with a
33 - 27 record. In 1949, the BAA became the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Schectman's shot is considered the first basket in the NBA.
In fact, several of the BAA and NBA teams had evolved out of the semi-pro teams, settlement houses, playgrounds, schoolyard and community center leagues, and college teams that sprung from the Jewish inner-city neighborhoods of the early 20th century. While the era of Jewish professional basketball players has passed, the story of these sports pioneers illustrates how the American 20th Century was shaped by the experiences of many immigrant groups.

hello hi

James Naismith invented basketball. Many people say he was an american but he wasn't. Originally he was born in Canada and when he was older, he moved to the USA. He invented Basketball there. Just because he invented it in america, it doesn't mean USA invented it. That's like saying somebody drew 1 part of the picture and the other drew the rest and the person who drew 1 part gets all the credit.
Larmar Odem, Jerry stackhouse, and also Kevin Garnett. They were the first to found the NBA as a money making tool. They started in Africa using primitive basketballs made of cow skin and coconuts.
On November 1, 1946, Ossie Schectman scored the first basket in the first game for the Basketball Association of America. The Basketball Association of America expanded in 1949 and became known as the National Basketball Association. So Ossie Schectman is credited with having scored the first basket in NBA history.
