James Naismith was the Canadian physical education instructor who invented basketball in 1891.
The first rules were created in 1892.
Initially, players dribbled a soccer ball up and down a court of unspecified dimensions.
Points were earned by landing the ball in a peach basket.

The open-ended net was introduced ten years later. This put an end to manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was scored.
In 1959, James Naismith was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
