Basketball was invented in 1891 by physical education instructer James Naismith at Springfield College in Springfield. He created the game so his phys-ed students could play a sport in the winter that was indoors.
Surprisingly, unlike most sports whose origins are somewhat obscure, often being the combination of other sports and developed gradually through time, basketball has a very precise and fully known origin.It was all started by Dr. James Naismith, the son of two Scottish immigrants to Canada. By 1891, Dr. Naismith was teaching physical education in Springfield, MA at the YMCA International Training School (which today is Springfield College). While there, he was asked by the director of physical education, Dr. Luther Gulick, to come up with a new game students could play indoors during the winter that would help keep track and field runners in shape and would be relatively safe to play (particularly that it would have a small amount of physical contact so that the players wouldn't get injured in this game). you can visit www.ryanfrancisco.posterous.com fo more info about basketball.

It depends on the ball. If its a basketball then it'll be easy because its just like bouncing a basketball in your school gym. If its any other kind of ball then it'll be no different then bouncing a basketball. $Mariah$S$Miettinen$

The height of ball will depend on how much force is used to hit the ball and what kind of ball is being hit. A golf ball will go much higher than a basketball or football.
Depends on the kind of ball- and whether you mean the size of the ball, or how high it can go in flight. A basketball is large than a golf ball.
