Basketball-a Game That Touched Millions By Jason Uvios Basketball as a game needs no introduction. Legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 'Magic' Johnson and Michael Jordan have achieved cult-status, both, within U.S.A and outsides. However, this fascinating game that went on to be the darling of the world began, rather innocuously.
It was December, 1891. Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian physician of McGill University and minister on the faculty of Springfield College, Massachusetts, U.S.A was worried about the long New England winters. Well, not exactly. He was preoccupied with the indolent state of his students. They were not to be blamed. The cold broke the back of the best.
He tweaked his mind for something that would beat the cold. He had a brainwave. It would be a game. And the game was basketball!
He was wrong on one account, though. Basketball did not remain a simple game meant for winter. It went on to became a passion that touched millions.
