introduction
The popularity of basketball is such that it now enjoys a truly global status,
National teams also compete at this global level and club teams contest
African, and Pan American geographical areas. The most famous, wealthy,
and hotly contested league in the world is run by the National Basketball
Association (NBA) in the United States.
As well as the able-bodied running game, there is also a thriving
wheelchair game that has its own world championships and other
competitions that are run along the same lines as the able-bodied game.
Basketball is also one of the most popular and keenly contested

original 13 rules and, consequently, the game itself. However, Naismith
regarded himself as a physical educator and academic and never sought to
profit from his great invention. He received his greatest compliment in
1936 when basketball became an Olympic sport at the Berlin games.
Naismith died in 1939.
