Dr. James Naismith invented basketball on 1891 in Springfield. Working for the YMCA, he wanted to create a game of skill for kids to play. Little did he know, that he would invent one of the largest sports played worldwide today. In 1936, basketball was introduced in the Berlin Olympics, and it was then that basketball would begin to spread. Basketball is now played world wide, and there are many basketball leagues around the world. It is very popular in the United States because of it's two top leagues, the NBA and WNBA.
In my opinion, basketball is my favorite sport. I like the fast paced gameplay, and the skill/entertainment that it provides. I also play basketball myself, and a lot of my friends do to. It is a sport that helps to clear the mind, and you can really get into the sport.
