There's a good NBA game on TV tonight, shall we watch it? That depends. Who's playing? The Houston Rockets and Miami Heat. You know, Yao Ming plays for the Rockets so we have to watch. Do you have any idea who invented basketball or the NBA? Someone must have made up the rules. I do know, yes. A Canadian man, Dr. James Naismith created the game of basketball from 13 original rules. It's played a little differently nowadays, but the principle is still the same. It was first played in Canada? I'm sure I read somewhere that the first game was played in 1946 in Toronto. That's right. The first game was between Toronto Huskies and the New York Knickerbockers. At that time the game was pretty boring, though. They didn't introduce the 24-second clock until after. The 24-second clock and of course an accompanying limit on the number of fouls a team could commit in a quarter. This created the game we know and love today. So, the NBA became more and more popular after that. When it started in Canada, most children grew up playing ice hockey and didn't really like basketball, but over the years it has changed considerably.
