Basketball

Basketball was created by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. James thought of this idea so his students could play a fun game during the cold winter time. They shot a round, orange basketball in a peach basket. The metal rim and the cut netting was created in 1906. In 1910, he added the rule that a basketball player could not shoot the ball after dribbling the ball. Basketball players are now aloud to shoot after they dribbled. That rule was created in 1916. Basketball was officially announced as an Olympic sport in 1936 .The first college basketball tournament was held in 1937. the NBA was created in 1949.

When players would shoot the ball they would jump. If this was done often it may cause knee injury. To prevent this you need to use the R.I.C.E method, which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. []

The reason why an assist is called a dime in basketball is because American Slang [ Harper Collins] defines as “to give information especially to the police.” An informant would drop a dime to call police which to “assist” an arrest.
