History of NBA presentation

1. BASKETBALL A brief reminder from where we are now History

2. Basketball Origins The history of  basketball  began with its invention in 1891 in  Springfield, Massachusetts  by Canadian physical education instructor  James Naismith  as a less injury-prone sport than football. Naismith was a 31-year old graduate student when he created the indoor sport to keep athletes indoors during the winters. The game became established fairly quickly and grew very popular

3. Basketball Origins as the 20th century progressed, first in America and then in other parts of the world. After basketball became established in American colleges, the professional game followed. The American National Basketball Association (NBA), established in 1946, grew to a multibillion-dollar enterprise by the end of the century, and basketball became an integral part of American culture.

4. NBA History The NBA has helped popularize basketball in other parts of the world. A large part of this is due to the transcendent stars that have played the game through the years. It was because of the play of  Michael Jordan  that basketball started to reach international audiences, especially on the  1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team , known as the Dream Team.

5. First Basketball Games The first public game of basketball was played in a YMCA gymnasium and was  recorded by the Springfield Republican  on March 12th, 1892. The instructors played against the students. Around 200 spectators attended to discover this new sport they had never heard of or seen before. In the story published by the Republican, the teachers were credited with “agility” but the student’s “science” is what led them to defeat the teachers 5-1.

7. Objective of the game The object of basketball is to throw the ball (basketball) into a hoop to score points. The game is played out on a rectangular court and depending on which section of court you successfully throw a ball into the basket will depend on how many points are scored. The ball can be moved around the by dribbling or passing the ball. At the end of the game the team with the most points is declared the winner. Basketball

8. Players and Equipment Each team is made up of 12 players with only 5 allowed on the court at any time. The positions are broken up into Point Guard, Defensive Guard, Center, Offensive forward and Defensive Forward. Each player will then take up a position on the court but are allowed to move around as they please. The court is a rectangular shaped and measures 91 feet long and 50 feet wide. There is a halfway line in which a small circle is found in the centre ; this is where the game starts with a tip off (the ball is thrown in the air by the referee and a player from each team tries to win possession for their team). At each end of the court are two baskets both 10 feet in height.

10. Rules of Basketball Each team can have a maximum of 5 players on the court at any one time. Substitutions can be made as many times as they wish within the game. The ball can only be moved by either dribbling (bouncing the ball) or passing the ball. Once a player puts two hands on the ball (not including catching the ball) they cannot then dribble or move with the ball and the ball must be passed or shot. After the ball goes into a team’s half and they win possession back the ball must then make it back over the half way line within 10 seconds. If the ball fails to do so then a foul will be called and the ball will be turned over.

11. Rules of Basketball Each team has 24 seconds to at least shot at the basket. A shot constitutes either going in the basket or hitting the rim of the basket. If after the shot is taken and the ball fails to go in the basket then the shot clock is restarted for another 24 seconds. The team trying to score a basket is called the offence whilst the team trying to prevent them from scoring is called the defence . The defence must do all they can to stop the offence from scoring by either blocking a shot or preventing a shot from being fired. After each successful basket the ball is then turned over to the opposition. Fouls committed throughout the game will be accumulated and then when reached a certain number will be eventually be awarded as a free throw.
