Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith,who was born in 1861.When he was at college,his class was once asked to invent a new game that could be played indoors during the long winters.Dr Naismith created a game to be plaged on a hard wooden floor,so the safety of the plays was important.Knocking into players and falling down would be dangerous. Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game.The aim of basketball is for players to try to get a ball into the"basket":a net hanging from a metal hoop. Players shoot from below the basket and may use the"backboard"for guiding the ball into the basket.Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other.
