Competition as a natural means of manhood took root and individuals began to run against one another.

The History of Basketball
The history of basketball is much easier to trace than other sports. It is clear that Dr. James Naismith is credited with creating basketball and much of basketball history.

The game... (posted by Keith 4 years 246 days ago.)
