Basketball by Nathan S.

Basketball was created in 1891 (way longer than a century!). Basketball at first had 13 rules. They played with a soccer ball and 2 baskets. Now basketball has been greatly improved and there are multiple ways to play; man to man and zone are probably the most common but man to man is probably the most popular. Man to man is where at the beginning you choose a guy and guard him in the game. Zone is where you have a certain amount of space you defend. Basketball has also been improved by making actual basketballs and hoops. Also basketball doesn't only have basketball games; you can shoot hoops or play games like Horse which involves a basketball, but isn't actually playing basketball. From 1891 to now, basketball is a great game and a great sport.
