Imagine this you have two days to create a indoor sports game and you have certain criteria that you have to follow. Well that’s what James Naismith did. Who is he? James Naismith is the inventor of basketball but played a very important role in our great sport. Which leads me to believe that, “without James Naismith we would not have basketball”.
James Naismith [who was a Canadian sports coach,physician, and innovator] invented basketball with 13 original rules in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. He was 31 at the time when he invented it.

What would life be like if basketball had never been invented. Well all those people who play in the N.B.A They would be out of the job. So that would leave them scrambling to find a job. Sadly not all of those people would get lucky to find a job. That would bump america's non-jobs percentage up to 17% instead of 16%. That might not be very much but think about it 323.1 million people live in the U.S.A. that means that 1,900 people would be without a job! So without basketball a lot of people would not have a job.
Well I hope you found out that without James Naismith we would not have basketball. There are a lot of interesting things that have happen in basketball history but, I could not include it all. Basketball is very important and without it America would be a lot different. Basketball is a very fun sport and I would consider playing it. It is very
