Naismith was asked to find an interesting and easy-to-learn winter indoor physical education class game. Naismith was inspired by a Canadian game called "Ducks on the Rock", in which some Canadian children threw balls into a peach basket.

The basketball match in naismith was originally conceived in 165438+ 10/5. The earliest rules did not stipulate dribbling, but only allowed the ball to pass through the court. Later, he wrote 13 basketball rules, of which 12 is still in use today.

At first, naismith nailed two peach baskets to the railing of the stadium stands, with their upper edges 3.04 meters off the ground, and threw them with football as a game tool. Throw the ball into the basket and score 1 point, and decide the outcome according to the score.

Every time you throw the ball into the basket, climb the ladder, take it out and start the game again. Later, the bamboo basket was gradually changed into an iron basket with a movable bottom, and then a net was hung under the iron ring. After a hundred years of perfection, the current basketball rules have been formed.
