Five hundred years ago an identical game of basketball was by the Mayans and the Aztec. Besides the rules of course and the somewhat of a basketball they had. Their basketball was a execute skulls of their rivals. First legitimate basketball game was January twentieth, eighteen ninety-two.

        The rules that have changed in basketball are how many players on the court and how long the game will continue. The number of player’s on the court would be nine because the major sport then was baseball and they have nine on the baseball field.

        Official “basketball” game wasn’t named basketball until William Ronald Chase through or scored a ball into a peach basket, and then someone just figured the name should be “basketball”.

        NBL only lasted five seasons unlike NBA. I think this because there was fewer in the NBL there was only four leagues. In 1902 the league finally let African Americans play which got it a major boost in players and teams.  Soon few of colleges were having teams.

        The original Celtics were from New York not from Boston and started in 1914 then ended before World War 1. The first team of the Celtics had an incredible record; won thirteen and lost none.

        The beginning of the NBA (National Basketball Association) started in the late 20’s and early 30’s when teams from each state started forming.  Slowly years later it formed to what is now the most watched sport.

        In the future the game of basketball will be the most played, most watched, most favorite and the greatest game of all time in my opinion. I think the rules of basketball will stay the same. Thanks to Dr. James Naismith for inventing my favorite game. If he would not have invented this game I don’t know what I’d do.
