basketball..


Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891, at a Massachusetts school gymnasium, and by the 1920s hundreds of local teams had sprung up in cities and towns throughout America. In 1946 what is now known as the NBA (it was initially named the Basketball Association of America, and officially changed its name to National Basketball Association in 1949) was formed. The first official NBA game, between the Toronto Huskies and the New York Knickerbockers, was played in Toronto. Today the NBA has 30 teams, most of which have a strong fan base. The NBA caters to its fans by having a great web site that details players and their statistics, as well as game schedules.

Every September, football fans settle in for a great season, often picking their favorite team and wagering with friends which team will make it to — and win — the Superbowl. Football, which has been around since the late 1800s, is a relative to rugby. The National Football League, which has been around since the early 1920s, is today made up of 32 teams. The league is made up of two conferences, each of which is divided into four divisions. If you are good at math, you'll realize that each division has four teams. Football season ends in late January or early February with the Super Bowl, in which the two best teams in the NFL are pitted against one another. The Super Bowl draws the most spectators of any professional sports championship, and many people watch to see the innovative commercials and entertaining half-time show in addition to some good football.

While professional hockey was first introduced in the early 1900s in Canada, it wasn't long before the sport came to America. The first team that played — the Boston Bruins — came on the scene in 1924. While the Bruins still draw lots of fans, 29 other American teams join them today. The teams are divided into two conferences, and the best team from each conference faces each other in the well-attended Stanley Cup playoffs.

Today basketball has grown to become one of the world's most popular sports.
