Basketball is a fast-paced game in which players score points at high speed. It was invented in December 1991 by James Naismith, a physical education instructor from Canada who was trying to create an indoor game. The game can be played in winter. Naismith wrote the 13 basic rules of the game that hung a peach basket at each end of the gymnasium. The first game had 9 players per team and ended with a score of 1-0. Over the years the game evolved and peach baskets were replaced by earth rims, reducing the number of players per team to five.

And after this game was included in Olympics, it gained a lot of popularity and this game is very popular in the world.
