This is the history of basketball essay in 150 words. Basketball was invented in 1891 by James Naismith, a Presbyterian minister who was asked to create an indoor game for the Young Men's Christian Association school in Springfield, Massachusetts. Naismith was inspired by a game he played in his childhood called 'Duck on a rock,' as well as rugby players throwing a ball into a box. He nailed peach baskets to a height of 3.05 meters and used soccer balls to play the first game of basketball on December 21, 1891. The game had 9 players in each team, 30 minutes of play time, and the rule of no dribbling to avoid injuries. The game caught on within three years, and Naismith's legacy included players like Forrest Clare 'Phog' Allen, who had more wins than any other coach in college basketball history, and Wilt Chamberlain, a professional basketball superstar who scored 100 points in a game in 1962.
