Way, way back in December of 1891, physical education teacher James Naismith introduced his class to two peach baskets he had nailed to the lower rail of the balcony at both ends of the gym, 13 rules for a new game, and using a soccer ball, basketball was born.

There have been changes; the original rules did not account for dribbling – can you imagine that? Another difference: his… Read more »
