Basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith using peach baskets and a soccer ball. The game has evolved significantly since then with standardized rules, equipment like orange balls and backboards, and worldwide popularity involving millions of players. The NBA and other professional leagues showcase the world's best talent playing for teams like the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and many others based in major cities across North America and Australia.

2. HISTORY
Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. The
very first hoops Naismith used were peach baskets with no
bottoms. The 10 foot height that is still considered regulation
was just happenstance. The very first basketball was actually
a soccer ball. It wasn't until 1929 that the basketball used
today was introduced.
