ORIGIN OF BASKETBALL

 Today in class we learned about The origin of basketball:

The game of basketball as we know it today was created by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts to condition young athletes during cold months. It consisted of peach baskets and a soccer style ball. He published 13 rules for the new game.

I have heard many arguments among spectators, family members, analysts, and colleagues about who is the best basketball player of all time?  Ask your family and friends about their thoughts. Form your own opinion (if you don't already have one) about which player you think is the best and why?
