A peach basket. Whenever somebody made a basket, somebody would have to climb a ladder and get the ball out. Also, the first ball used in basketball was a soccer ball.
Ronnald Frisjerald was the third to create a basket ball, no one knows the first or second.
The first basketball hoop was a peach basket.
The idea of tossing out the first ball is relatively recent. None of the first 25 or so Presidents did it. Every president from Taft on threw out the first ball on opening day of a new major league season.
the first basket ball player was James Naismith he invented and played basket ball it was 1891 and he was thinking of a way to keep his students occupied on the winter days so he nailed a peach basket to a 10 foot elevated track and he didn't remove the bottom so every time someone made a shot they had 2 go up 10 feet to get the ball
