Curiosity ( At least 100 words )

BASKETBALL

I wonder who invented the basketball?

The basketball inventor is James Naismith. James Naismith is Canadian American Physical Educator, Physician, Chaplain, Sports Coach, and Innovator. He invented the game of basketball at age 30 in 1891. He wrote the original basketball book and founded the University of Kansas Basketball program. Naismith lived to see Basketball adopted as an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 and as official event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, as well as the birth of national Invitation Tournament (1938) and the NCAA Tournament (1939). (1899) Dr. James Naismith  is the coach of the coach of University of Kansas
