Basketball - Stirling
The modern game of basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr.
James Naismith, a Canadian Physical Education teacher from Almonte,
Ontario. There were originally only 13 rules and no limit to the
number of players which sometimes led to more than 50 people on a
court. By 1900, the number of players was limited to five.
In 1904, basketball was played as a demonstration sport at the
St. Louis, Missouri, Olympics. It finally became a medal sport in
1936 at the infamous Berlin Olympics, where the US beat Canada
19-8.
Fédération Internationale de Basketball
Amateur oversees international competition and estimates
that more than 450million people worldwide play basketball.
