does anyone here knows who invented the basket ball game?

WOW! We studied this in college and then I forgot about it until you asked. This is what I found on the internet... [i]"Basket Ball (the original name of the game) was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a teacher at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. At Hoophall.com, the official site of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, we learned that, "The game of basketball was the result of a challenge from a teacher to his student to pique the interest of an incorrigible class during the usually dull winter months." Apparently, the class was tired of calisthenics and Naismith's instructor assigned him the duty of inventing a new indoor sport. Taking to the task at hand, Naismith rounded up two peach baskets (the janitor didn't have any boxes handy) and a soccer ball. Next, he developed 13 rules for the new game. He divided his class of 18 into 2 teams of 9 players each (the team today would be the equivalent of 3 guards, 3 centers, and 3 forwards) and set about to teach them the basics of b-ball. The object of the game was to throw the soccer ball into the peach baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym balcony. Every time a point was scored, the game was halted so the janitor could lug out a ladder and retrieve the ball. Of course, that didn't happen too often -- the score of the very first basketball game ever played was an amazingly low 1-0. A lot has happened since the introduction of the game and basketball has undergone many changes, both in equipment and rules. "[/i]

This question has already an answer.

I read that a Canadian called James Naismith who was a physical education instructor invented the basketball game in the 18th century (1891 if I am not mistaken). I like basketball, my son and my husband are crazy about it and I find myself curious about it too.

so i think you already got the answer of you question but i want to know why you already asked this question about how invent this game this really very odd but i really like this topic and got a lot of info from friends comment good luck my friend and enjoy your posting .
