Basketball originated in the deep in 1861 by James Naismith, a teacher in the usual physical training at school who could not figure out how to take their pupils. Naismith had been a good teacher, who wanted to create a game that excludes brute force. Naismith all the time perfected their game and finally put the five basic principles of basketball:
- For a basketball game needed a large and light ball, which is easy to fit in your hand;
-running with the ball in his hands is prohibited;
- The ball can own a player of any team;
- Physical contact players are forbidden, but the cluster of players allowed in any part of the site;
- The ring is at a high distance from the players. One most outstanding and memorable players in the history of basketball is Michael Jordan in the "Chicago Bulls" team.
