On December 21, 1891, 30-year-old James Naismith (above)
introduced the first game of basketball. Based on 13 rules
created by Naismith, the game was tested by 18 students at
the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training
School in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Two teams of nine players each compete against each other,
with the objective to throw a soccer ball into a peach basket
attached to a balcony 10 feet above the floor.
