Basketball Changes Lives
There is no doubt that basketball is one of the most popular 3 sports in the world today. Basketball is right behind soccer and right before cricket in the world landscape. The reason behind the popularity of basketball is because it is so very cheap, all you need is a ball and a hoop. If you do not have a hoop you can adjust and even put up a peach basketball like Dr. James Naismith did when he invented the sport. Naismith was a Canadian inventor who had an idea about a recreational activity that blossomed into an international phenomenon. He invented the sport in 1891 with a leather ball and a peach basket. Soon after that it was being played at various colleges across America including Kansas, NYU, and North Carolina. Dr. Naismith would have been proud of his creation in today's world and it is certain that basketball will continue to thrive in the future.
