Authors Note:I’m writing this piece to learn more about how basketball started and how it is. I would like to have more information in my writing piece because I have not put allot of information in my writing pieces.
Basketball Has been a sport for a long time and is close to being the best sport in history. I Will most likely be the most popular in a few years. It is a interesting way how it started and how it was played back then. Basketball has changed in many ways over the past 100 years.
Out of all the sports made basketball is the most interesting sport on how it was made. It was made in the winter of 1891by James Naismith. James was a physical ed teacher at the YMCA. He made this game because his students were bored and had nothing to do outside because it was to cold out to play baseball or kick a soccer ball around. They were playing soccer, football and lacrosse inside but they were breaking windows and other things. So Dr.Luther Gulick told James to invent a game to play for the kids. James though and though and came up with 13 rules and he said his game would be played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets and you can’t move with the ball you had to pass it. The point of the game was too pass or shoot the ball and the team with the most points was declared the winner. All of James Students were happy there was a new game in the class but the first time they played it one way played it right. The first game played was a score of 1-0. A boy named William Chase scored the first basket with a toss from 25 feet away. One of the kid in James class played the game to some people in his hometown and they all liked it.
They played it many more times in his city to. basketball has changed a lot over time like the rules and were you play it. Back then you would play basketball in a barn now you play it in a gym. Then have all the rules the same mostly but they added a lot. Now you can dribble and a lot more. I think the most difference is dribbling because you can move with the ball because if you can not move with it how are you going to get down court easy. now there are also fouls if you do something you aren’t suppose to do if it can injure someone badly. Basketball I think has changed the most out of all the sports in history because of what you do, use and wear.
Most of the things have changed even though there are a lot of more changes. Some of the rules there are a lot of good rules and there are some okay rules and there are some very bad rules. Most rules in my opinion are good but there are some that are questionable. Most of the rules are made to keep the game same most of the time. If the games isn’t played safe its not good because people play basketball aggressive and get out of hand some times. Most of the game
is based off the rules and play how a team plays. If you have 5 fouls in a game you can not play the rest of the game.
Basketball has changed a lot because it has improved in how it is played. Basketball has changed because they needed money and now basketball really can’t be called a sport because now it is like a business because its all about the money and entertainment for the people and the more popular it is the more money it makes.
