Arab -BasketBall

In 1891, in the United States of America, the young Canadian teacher, Dr. James Naismith, in an attempt to stimulate gymnastics lessons, attached two fruits to the balcony wall and suggested throwing football balls in it. The resulting game is mysteriously similar to modern basketball. There was no doubt about dribbling. The players threw the ball to each other and then tried to throw it in the basket. The team that scored the largest number of goals won

In the first basketball match in 1891, Naismith was used two peaches of half of Bochs as goals, which gave sport name. The students were excited. After a lot of running and shot, William R Cess launched a shot in the middle of the field – the only result in that historical competition. The talk about the innovative game recently spread, and many Naismith associations wrote to obtain a copy of the rules, which were published in the January 15, 1892 issue of the triangle, the school’s campus paper YMCA Training.

While basketball is a competitive winter sport, it plays on the basis of 12 months – in summer stadiums, in municipal and industrial halls, church, school yards, family corridors, and in summer camps – often on an informal basis between two or more contestants. Several rules, youth groups, municipal entertainment centers, churches, and other organizations are running basketball programs for high ages than high school. Jay Artcher, from Skranton, Pennsylvania, presented “small” basketball in 1950 for boys and girls under the age of 12, and the stadium and equipment are modified according to the size.

The first years

The first registered federation of professional basketball teams, which is called the National Basketball Association, appeared in 1898 and remained present for five years, after which he divided into several independent league championships that held its own championships. The rules of those years allowed the teams to enter decades with different players for each game, and therefore, the squad formations were very unstable, and any player in one championship, if he wanted to do so, play for almost all teams, and selling his services for each month for those who pay more. The cost of individual contracts was approximately one dollar per minute of playing, allowing the best players who spent longer on the field, earning amazing sums for those times, without paying attention to bruises, bruises and wounds for them; The basketball was at the beginning of the century more than just an frictional sport, as it was not forbidden to push the opponents, tighten them, and break them. One of the innovations designed to accelerate the game, but in reality it increased only the risk of athletes, was the introduction of a wire network that raisped the basketball field on all sides. Thanks to it, the ball has always been in the game, but only the most despair dared to enter the conflict in order to master it in the network, leaving the arts of self -defense with many bruises and permanent imprints of the network throughout their bodies. Such fences, the most suitable for hockey or battles, were canceled, except in 1929. Fortunately, there were more intelligent innovations. Returning to 1892, they started cutting the bottom of the baskets so that they would not climb the stairs to them after each registered ball, then they fully replaced it with metal rings.

Basketball in high school and the American college

Basketball football has evolved in high school and the level of the kidney from an organized and strict game in the first days to a high -line and high -point game. Individual skills improved significantly, and although basketball continues to be considered a final group game, not only individual players were accepted, but was used as an effective way to win the matches.

In the early years, the games were repeatedly winning with a total of less than 30 points, and the game, from the view of the spectator, was slow. Once a team got modest, the common tactic was to stop the match by passing the ball without trying to score, in an attempt to finish the time. NBC saw the need to inhibit these slowdown tactics, and put a number of changes in the rules. In 1932-1933 a line was drawn in the central region, and the attacking team was required to advance the ball within 10 seconds or lose the acquisition. Five years later, in 1937-1938, the middle leap that follows every field goal or free throw was eliminated. Instead, the defending team was allowed to enter the ball from the line outside the border below the basket. Contracts passed before another change in the same size in the college game. After experimenting, the NCAA rules committee installed a 45 -second -for -year -old shot hour (it was reduced to 35 seconds in 1993), which led to the restriction of time that the team can control the ball before the shot, and after one year, the payment base was applied from three points for baskets made of a distance of more than 19.75 feet (6.0 meters). In 2008, the three -point line was moved to 20.75 feet (6.3 meters) of the basket.

American professional basketball

The professional game flourished for the first time in my state in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and New England. Trenton (New Jersey), New York and Enderers were the first great professional club, followed by the German Buffalo (New York) team, who started in 1895 as 14 -year -old members at Buffalo YMCA and with new members from time to time, he lasted for 44 years, winning 792 of 878 games.

Establishing the American Professional League NBA

The American Professional League began its life in the name of the US Basketball Association in 1946 and played under the leadership of this monk for 3 years before it was integrated in 1949 with the National Basketball League and changed the names to the American Professional League. The BAA team started 11 teams in 1946, but it lost four of them before the start of the following season. Despite the loss of four teams, BAA achieved great success against its NBL rival and managed to attract four NBL privileges to join BAA in 1948.

When the Dorin merged in 1949, the total number of teams became 17 teams, but the new league will start quickly to lose the teams. Just six years later, the number of teams decreased to 8. Financial problems that hit the league from the beginning and this was especially true for the NBL teams that joined during the merger due to its presence in smaller markets. The owner of the Fort Wayne Pistons, a former NBL team, called Frank Zollner, was the key to maintaining NBA financially during this time.

The American Professional League continued with 8 teams from 1955 to 1961, when Chicago Baker joined the league. The Bakrz, who is now Washington Wizards, is not the first expansion team, this neighborhood goes to Chicago Bulls because Bulls, who joined in 1966, had an actual expansion project. From 1966 until 2004, the league saw a prosperity with expansion with 21 teams joined the league.
