BASKETBALL

WHO CREATED BASKETBALL

  • James Naismith created basketball in 1891.
  • He was born in November 6th in Almonte Canada1861 and became a sports coach.
  • He also designed the very first football helmet.

MORE ABOUT JAMES NAITHSMITH

  • Until 1906 the baskets had no hole under them, so that meant they had to climb ladders to get the ball
  • When James realised it would be a lot faster to cut out a hole from the bottom so he removed the bottom from the baskets in 1906.

James Naithsmith created basketball because everyone needed to play a indoor sport in the winter because it is too cold for baseball or football.
