1. Jim Naismith created basketball in 1891. He created the game to be played indoors at the YMCA
in the cold winters of Massachusetts. Two fruit baskets were used as goals in the inaugural game,
which was played with a soccer ball. Naismith utilized two half-bushel peach baskets as goals for
the inaugural basketball game in 1891, giving the game its name. The students had a lot of
energy. William R. Chase scored the sole goal in that illustrious game with a midcourt shot after
much of running and shooting. As word of the newly created game spread, several organizations
wrote to Naismith to get a copy of the regulations.The first basketball leagues were established
at universities after the sport gained popularity at the YMCA. Basketball became an Olympic
sport in 1936 as it gained popularity among collegiate athletes and professional leagues were
established.
