When was basketball invented?

Even though the Mayans had a similar version, the basketball that we know today was born in the United States at the end of the 19th century.

A professor from the University of YMCA (Massachussets) wanted to create an indoor sport in order to avoid the harsh winters. Basketball distanced itself from other contact sports to rely more on dexterity.

Not exactly. In fact, Mr. Naismith decided to hang two wooden boxes at 3.05 meters high that he got from the janitor of the university at that time.

But a lot of things have changed since then!
