Basketball, a popular sport worldwide, was invented in 1891 by Canadian-American physical educator Dr. James Naismith. To keep his students active during winter, Naismith pinned a peach basket onto the elevated track, and basketball was born. The objective of the game is simple - shoot the ball through the opponent's hoop to score points while preventing them from doing the same. Over the years, basketball evolved into a professional sport. The National Basketball Association (NBA) was founded in 1946, and it showcases some of the world's best players. Legends like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and currently, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, have left indelible marks on the sport. Basketball is more than a game; it teaches teamwork, discipline, and it promotes physical fitness. Its global popularity has also made it a unifying force in society, bringing together people of all backgrounds to enjoy the spirit of competition. From its humble beginning with a peach basket, basketball has transformed into a beloved sport, impacting lives across the globe.
