It is no doubt that nowadays Basketball is such a popular game in the world, basketball has yet been an icon of youthful, fashionable and dynamic especially in the life of contemporary college students.. But actually, compared to today’s achievement of basketball, you might be hard to figure it out the history of basketball actually is merely about one hundred years, from origin to a sort of popular world-wide sport, which is really a miracle.
Why invent basketball?
Basketball was originated by Dr. James Naismith in the United States in1891, and at that time he was working as a PE teacher at a Youth Training School in Springfield.
The east of United States entered into winter a bit earlier, physical education is facing formidable problems in winter, the number of people who took part in the physical activities decreased remarkably as the result of cold weather outdoor in 1890.
Therefore, Dr. James Naismith was wondering to bring in or invent a new sport that was interesting and could be on indoors. And then, he tried moving a variety of outdoor sports into indoor, but all failed in the end as different shortcomings, for example football, many windows were broken into pieces and players were injured by that; about field hockey, Students often mix together against each other with sticks because of constraints of the space.After analyzing all kinds of ball games, Dr. James Naismith found that those games with a small ball were complicated because they need to be controlled by feet and tools indirectly, while the other ball games controlled by hands were much easier to make different actions, hence, He thought he should design a new type of ball game controlled directly by hand.
