Basketball: Becoming More and More Popular Worldwide
On any given day, all around the world, people are playing
basketball. Today, basketball rates as one of the all-time most
popular sports worldwide. Basketball tournaments are played out
between players of all age groups from little five and six year
olds to adults of all ages and levels. Sports networks around
the world, on any given day, will report on professional
basketball tournaments around the world and broadcast local and
international games.
Basketball continues to grow in popularity, because it is a
relatively cheap game to get into, can be played indoors and
outdoors, in summer and winter, by girls or boys, men and women,
anywhere in the world.
When one thinks of basketball one normally associates it with
the United States and the legendary Harlem Globetrotters.
Americans have been playing basketball professionally since
1896, but today, there are up to 300 million people playing
basketball all around the entire globe. In fact, these
days,
American basketball teams even recruit foreign players into
their teams.
According to Wikipedia.com, basketball didn't evolve from older
more primitive versions of the game, but was invented by a man
called Dr. James Naismith, in 1891, so that his college students
could keep fit in the winter. In fact, that's how college
basketball began! The game was initially played with a soccer
ball. Then a brown ball was designed. The characteristic orange
ball that we know today was designed in the late 1950s.
From American college basketball to professional league,
basketball first evolved into an international sport in 1932 and
became an Olympic sport in 1936. Since then, its popularity
worldwide has grown exponentially.
