    The History Of Basketball

    Since its beginning over a century ago, basketball has evolved from a simple form of exercise with only a few rules to a highly competitive and complex national sport. Basketball was invented by James Naismith at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891 (Fox 11-13). It began as an activity for the “‘ball-game’ void” months of winter (Hanson 65), and Naismith had five standards for the game. He wanted a ball that could be handled by a player’s hands; no one was to run with the ball, and anyone could grab the ball from another player as long as the ball was in play.

    Field Hockey Research Paper

    It is played with a stick and a small, hollow tennis sized ball. The uniform consists of the jersey, usually a kilt, over-sized shin guards and usually football or baseball cleats depending on which the person prefers. The object of the game is to dribble the ball up the field with only the flat edge of the stick, which happens to be on the inside. This calls for you to flip the stick back and forth while running up the field. You also need to be bent over because the stick is always shorter than your normal standing height. This tends to cause your back to be overly sore. The rules don't allow for you to block the balls with your stick or body and in order to shoot the ball you have to stand on the edge of the crease, which is 16 yards from the 8x8 goal. This makes it rather difficult to easy score. Since there are so many rules to the way in which you can use your stick, the height the ball can be off the ground, whether or not the ball hits a body, it tends to leave the ref blowing his whistle very often. Playing a game where the ref is calling fouls every time you start running makes the game not…

    The Influence Of Basketball

    On the 20th of October, 1998, the world was blessed with a talented basketball player. (That would be me.) Growing up, I didn’t really have reasons to like basketball. My family did not play or have interest in any kind of sport, besides for my father turning on the Lakers game once in a while. So my influence had to come about from a mishap. A mishap I am very thankful for. The television was playing the Lakers game in my living room one night when my attention was caught by an astonishing performance by a player wearing the number 8. Shot after shot he would score with emphasis, scowling after each basket. This player was arguably one of the greatest professional basketball players still to this day, Kobe Bryant. It was at this moment that…
