“The true
way to honor the past is to improve upon it”
N. Eldon
Tanner
This quote is
great because if something horrible happen in the past don’t let it hunt you
instead improve it by making it better. Rise to the top upon the past.
James Naismith was a Canadian physical education instructor
who invited basketball in 1891. While working at YMCA training school in Springfield.
The first game only had nine players aside. They used a soccer ball to toss and
used peach basket nailed to the balconies at the end of gymnasium. James Naismith made a set of 13 rules of basketball. But the first formal
rules were publishing in 1892. Iron basket hoops and a hammock-style basket were
introduced in 1893. Everyday something is new and introduce to us. Basketball is
different from today than it was before because now we don’t use soccer ball to
dribble and to toss we used a ball that’s for basketball. Now is more
physically. Now the average height for minimum is 6’3 foot tall. Gorge Mikan
was the first man in the NBA to be considered as a big man.
