In the article, “How Basketball Began,” it says that Dr. James Naismith created this game in 1891. It started in Massachusetts in a YMCA gym. The first game was played on December 21st. Naismith was given 2 weeks to invent an indoor game that would help a rowdy class to settle down during the winter. His idea was to bring soccer and lacrosse together instead of playing them outside. For me, I am very thankful that he invented this sport. Basketball is what I love doing. It’s what I do in my spare time and without him I wouldn’t have anything to do. My family is also very big on basketball. We are always talking about it at dinner or watching it whenever we are together.
