In 1891, American James Naismith invented basketball. He was teaching at the YMCA International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts at the time. Because the area is abundant in peaches, children here enjoy playing the game of throwing the ball into the peach basket. This sparked his interest in developing basketball games based on the characteristics of other ball games such as football and hockey.

Initially, the basketball game was relatively simple, with no restrictions on the size of the field or the number of people participating. The players are divided into two equal-sized teams that stand on opposite ends of the court. When the referee throws the ball to the center of the court, players from both teams rush into the court to grab it and try to throw it into the opponent's basket. Because the peach basket has a bottom, the ball remains in the basket after being struck, and people must climb a special ladder to remove the ball.

This greatly increased the enjoyment of the basketball game and attracted more people to participate in the game, resulting in the rapid spread of basketball throughout the United States.
