BASKETBALL SPEAKERS
Just a few of the things that draw people to the fast-paced game of basketball include the individual finesse that players develop during their career, the teamwork that draws players together and inspires them to do things they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise, and the drama and triumph that comes from the sport.

Basketball originated when Dr. James Naismith, who invented basketball, attempted to create a sport that would allow athletes to remain fit during the winter months. After contemplating various sports that could be played in an indoor gymnasium, Naismith came up with the idea of having players shoot a soccer ball into a peach basket, ultimately leading to the basis of the sport we now know as basketball.

The history of basketball led first to the development of a women’s version of the sport, and then most recently to the National Basketball Association (NBA), a league that now employs the top-level players. Two conferences of teams encapsulate 30 teams at the professional level, while the NCAA basketball bracket also includes collegiate teams.
