The first basketball game was played with a soccer ball and
two peach baskets as goals. The baskets were mounted on
opposite walls of a gymnasium, and the goal was to throw
the ball into the opposing team’s basket. The game quickly
caught on, and the first intercollegiate basketball game was
played in 1895 between Hamline University and the
University of Minnesota.

“My favorite athlete is Stephen Curry. He is a professional basketball player for the
Golden State Warriors of the NBA. He is the point guard for their team. I like him
because he is a passionate player and many people consider him to the be the
best basketball player in the world.”
“My favorite sporting event happened on August 15, 2014 in Pennsylvania at the
Little League World Series. The two teams that played in the game were the Taney
Dragons and Nashville. The Taney Dragons beat Nashville in a 4 – 0 victory. The
amazing thing was that the pitcher was the first female to pitch 6 innings, strike out
8 batters, and to pitch a shutout in Little League postseason history. It was
amazing.”
