No, somebody had to have invented it. And that somebody would be James Naismith.Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym teacher and physician would soon be the founder of basketball. It all started in December of 1891. Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts and was asked by Luther H．Gulick, the Headmaster of the school for Christian Works to make a new sport. The main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. The new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. Nai smith began to work. The first game­ball was a soccer ball.The first baskets were peach baskets that Naismith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally, there was 9 men to each team, but the objective was still the same; to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing team's net, or basket back then. From there, basketball caught on like wildfire.During 1885 high schools and colleges began to adopt the game, and by 1898, the first Pro League was founded. After the first game played, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906.They were steel, with a net hanging from its rim.Dr James Naismith is known world­wide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith's school days in the area where he played asimple child's game known as duck­on­a­rock outside his one­room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a “duck” off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了篮球的起源。
