Basketball is an Olympic sport, a team sport with a ball, the goal of which is to throw the ball into the basket of the opponent more times than the opposing team does in a given time.
History of the origin and development of basketball
In 1891, in the United States, a young Canadian-born teacher, Dr. James Naismith, in an attempt to enliven a gymnastics class, pinned two fruit baskets to the railing of a balcony and suggested that footballs be thrown in. The resulting game only vaguely resembled modern basketball. There was no guiding involved, the players tossed the ball to one another and then tried to put it into the basket. The team that threw the most balls won.
A year later Naismith drew up the first rules for basketball. The first games under these rules also caused the first changes to them. Gradually basketball spread from the U.S. first to the East – Japan, China, the Philippines – and then to Europe and South America. Ten years later, at the Olympics in St. Louis the Americans organized an exhibition tour between teams from several cities. In 1946, the Basketball Association of America (BAA) was founded. The first game under its aegis was played on November 1 of that year in Toronto between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers. In 1949 the NBA merged with the National Basketball League, forming the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1967, the American Basketball Association, which for a long time tried to compete with the NBA, but After nine years it merged with the NBA. Today the NBA is one of the one of the most influential and well-known professional basketball leagues in the world. In 1932 the International Federation of Amateur Basketball. The federation included 8 countries: Argentina, Greece, Italy, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Romania. Sweden, Czechoslovakia. Based on the name, the organization was supposed to lead only amateur basketball, however, in 1989, professional basketball players were admission to international competition, and the word “amateur” was removed from the name. The very first international game was held in 1904, and in 1936 basketball was included in the Summer Olympics games.
