BASKETBALL

A. DESCRIPTION
Basketball is a team sport where two teams, usually consisting of
players on each team, play against each other on a rectangular court. The
objective is to get the ball through a hoop mounted high on a backboard on the
opponent's side of the court, while preventing the opponent from shooting it into
your team's hoop.

B. HISTORY
The game of basketball as it is known today was created by Dr. James
Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, to condition young
athletes during cold months. ... The objective of the game was to throw
the basketball into the fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym
balcony.
