“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where goalpost are” Arnold H. Glasgow

This quote means that we should know where our goal is going to be. We need to know how we are going to reach that goal, sure there are going to be a lot of obstacles that will prevent us from reaching that goal. It’s our job to work hard and don’t give up on our goal.

History Of Basketball

History of Basketball

The person who invented the sport basketball was a man name Dr. James Naismith. It was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts on January 20, 1892. Dr. James wanted people to play a sport during the winter time so he created basketball. He took two tall polls and nailed one peach basket in each poll. Then he put the polls away from each other and grabbed a ball and taught others how to play. Most of the rules Dr. James wrote are still used today but some have been modified or new rules have been introduced. At the start people were still getting used to the new game and didn’t quite understand the rules. The first game was played for 30 minutes and the final score was 1-0. A man named William R. Chase scored the first basket in the game. Over the years the game started to get popularity and more people started to play. Today basketball is pretty much the same but with a few rules added or modified. Now more people like playing the game and famous players like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James have shown how much they love the sport and influence others to like the sport.
