  • Learn about how this sport became a worldwide phenomenon by understanding how it all began. Without the help of Dr. James Naismith, Basketball wouldn't exist as to what it now is today.
    This video will explain who invented Basketball, the rules of the game, how the sport traveled to other gyms, and how it formed the NCAA, NBA, and FIBA.

    Fun fact: The reason Naismith put the basket at 10 feet was because the custodian had painted the area above the balcony. He asked Naismith not to put the basket any higher. Thus the height of the basket is 10 feet.

      The janitor also gave Naismith peach baskets when he asked for boxes. We came close to this game being named "boxball".

    Imagine if those balconies were higher? We would've never had dunking lol.

    • @MrKurtykurt
      @MrKurtykurt Год назад +4

      Perhaps not, but bc 10ft is the exact height of 1 story of a building, and bc they had to retrieve the ball from the basket initially, I think the basket height was always destined to be somewhere between 9-11ft (8-12ft at the very most.) And if you think about it, 10ft is still way too high for most ppl to dunk. Most the women in the WBNA can’t, I certainly can’t. But if the basket was 12 feet instead of 10, there would still be NBA players who could get up there. Michael Jordan for instance is 6’6” and has a 46” vertical (the highest in NBA history) which would put the top of his head at 10.5ft from the ground (there’s plenty of clips of him almost cracking his head on the rim, so no surprise there. Plus he had an abnormally long wing span even for NBA player. The average person’s wingspan is approx equal to their height. The average NBA guard’s is approx 3in longer than their height. Michael Jordan’s was 5in longer than his height (6’11” wingspan.) So his extended arm would certainly have been able to make up that foot and a half to dunk on 12ft. Although the average vertical of the average NBA player is 26in, so although dunks would still exist, they’d be much less common at 12ft…..I don’t know why I just wrote you an essay but, I guess cause I like basketball
