The first Spalding Basketball was made in 1894 by Albert Goodwull Spalding - three years after the invention of the game in 1891. When the game of basketball was first invented, it was actually played with a soccer ball.
Spalding made the first official basketball uniforms back in 1901. Spalding also made the first official basketballs at the request of James Naismith.
