Basketball

Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. The very first hoops Naismith used were peach baskets with no bottoms. The 10 foot height that is still considered regulation was just happenstance. The very first basketball was actually a soccer ball. It wasn't until 1929 that the basketball used today was introduced.
